Raspberry Pi alternatives emerge to fill need for speed

Raspberry Pi isn't planning a hardware upgrade of its popular $25 computer anytime soon, but faster options are emerging for users attracted to such board-like devices. The alternatives include Solid Run's HummingBoard, which was announced earlier this month, and Banana Pi, announced this week, though it is only available through Chinese online stores for around $50. Pricing and availability for HummingBoard have not yet been announced.
