Swiss sellers take up the Orange Pi 5 in your shops – urgently! – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

If we look at this table:

Availablity & price comparison of selected singe board computers in Switzerland

we can see that Raspberry Pi does not seem to car about the needs of their costumers. On the contrary. First they offer a product which becomes popular. But what Raspberry Pi currently does, will this product not loose it’s popularity? Devices which are unavailable, or cannot be bough in a Swiss shop with 24 month warranty time.
the Raspberry Pi shop Switzerland is a desert, with only one available model, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+

Is not a problem of Raspberry Pi the lack of a strong competitor? Which company with a strong competitor treats costumers like that?
What if Garmin would say, our watches will not be available for one year? Sports watch buyers would choose another brand, and eventually would never come back.

With the SBC whe have selected in our table, there is currently LattePanda a competitor to Raspberry Pi. A second competitor for the Raspberry Pi is highly desirable in Swiss shops, and that is the Orange Pi 5. We already have contacted Digitec and Conrad Switzerland regarding this topic, and we ask you to do the same.
