The Bitcoin Mini is more than just a hardware node

Developers use the 21 Bitcoin Computer to quickly make any app, service, or device bitcoin-payable.” - 21 Inc

Omaha-based startup Mini Computing recently unveiled a consumer-ready hardware node for the bitcoin network, called the Bitcoin Mini. It's a tiny, open source, fully-encased, Raspberry Pi-based computer that you can run anywhere with an internet connection, supporting the Bitcoin network without mining in any way. Although it started shipping in mid-October, retailing for US$149, almost everyone who has heard of it so far has been referring to it as a “hardware node,” underestimating its' capabilities.

Startup looks like another waste of money investors. The list of investors eminent payment systems and banks. Perhaps this is also an attempt to discredit the Bitcoin.

Looks like:

"We spend a huge funding and conclude that Bitcoin is not intended to become a full-fledged payment system"

why so negative? first of all they are producing full nodes for a good price. that is a plus.
