The raspberry pi foundation have announced a new edition to the famously cheap Raspberry Pi Zero: Raspberry Pi Zero W

It appears to be the Raspberry Pi Zero with the Raspberry Pi 3's wireless chipset added on.

The retail price will be double from the $5 of the original Pi Zero to $10, but as before, expect to add on the price of the specific mini cables and pin headers to turn it into a fully fledged Pi. [takyon ed note: But not necessarily as many because... wireless?]

There is also a new Raspberry Pi Zero official case (which fits both Pi Zero editions).

    It makes me laugh when I hear IoT and people think running a quad core CPU with a full blown OS is how you control a light bulb. Web dev's....sigh.
