Orange Pi 5 and then Orange Pi 5 B, who understands this?

Last Updated on May 9, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

  • Why already a new model without the option MVE but built in BLE and WIFI?
  • Adding BLE and WIFI but removing MVE?
  • What about Orange adding a ble keyboard which we know that it works?
  • currently, we know only of usb-keyboard which work, but of no Bluetooth keyboards with the device which is a big issue.
  • And finally, if we should find one, we have the options to choose between the Orange Pi 5 with MVE or the Orange Pi 5B with BLE and Wifi.
  • But what should be do if we need both?
  • Has this been tone to leave costumers always unsatisfied to be able to launch the next model which costs more?
  • Is it not an illusion that SBC are able to increase prizes for their product, or to launch new devices with more features for a higher price?
  • The diversity of SBC is huge, but the quality of the reviewers is not at the highest level, especially if they are entangled by one or the other way with the manufacturers, which makes those to product sellers.
  • As long as we do not have high quality reviews which are independent from the manufacturer, users will suffer from information which is not objective.

But we suppose, the quality of the reviews will increase through reviewers which are independent from the manufacturer, something which fits to the costumers needs. And only then these devices become more interesting for users.

What to you think about this marketing strategy of Orange, to sell costumers piece by piece, so that none really fits for our needs to be able to launch the next products. Write it in the comments below.
