 $100+, < $100 USD, < $80, < $50, < $30, < $20, < $10 • Form factor?
 Dedicated space, tight space, wearable • Connectivity?
 Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, BLE, none • Programming language?
 Arduino, JavaScript, C++, Python, no programming • Run-time environment and processing speed?
 Arduino/Embedded vs. Linux • Community?
