No analog audio out 3.5 mm connector anymore...

Not sure I want a Pi5.

Sort of becomes a multimedia HD player, OK.

Will wait for user experiences...

I do have some USB audio sticks for my Pis, stereo out, mike in.

Pi started as a hobby/learning tool, and still is big-time, but it has
also become a serious commercial-product embedded compute unit.

I think that was accidental, but it\'s sure become real. There were too
many short-life weird uP chips with flakey dev tools.

There will probably be an RP500, as the next-gen dev+debug thing.

I was going to use a Pi4 in a new product, but could use 5 if it\'s
available.

I want a next-gen Pico now. More memory, some way to do Gbit Ethernet.
