Raspberry Pi VS Arduino VS Cubieboard VS Udoo Vs Others ! ~ NEW TECH

Gone are the days when you needed a big box just to perform simple calculations, watch some pictures or play some songs. Now we have Single Board Computers that are as big as your credit card, Which can do a lot more than the top of the class Pentium III Computers, And they are taking over the world too, Because of the tons and tons of support on these boards over the internet. If you want an MP3 Player, Earthquake Senor, Gate Opener, Security System, Movie Player, Watering System, Lights Manager ? Any board below will be ready to do any of these tasks in less than 5 Minutes. Below is the Comparison Of the Top 5 Most Popular boards in the market, And why are they popular ?
