Take a Slice
A team comprised of Raspberry Pi Foundation insiders, directors of Pimoroni and a music producer have banded together under the title of FiveNinjas to launch a Kickstarter for a new media player called ‘Slice’. The aluminium-cased player is based on the Compute Module and features a custom-designed host board that brings out everything you need to plug it into your television and play media from the inbuilt 1TB hard drive. The Kickstarter runs until 25th September and can be found here.
