USB Host/OTG

Up to 700€ for:

As above except

At least 32GB storage
2 GB RAM
Camera 8MP+
GPS+Compass
Good build quality

Happily 1000€ for:

As above except
Full HD Resolution
CPU 64 bit nearly as fast as Raspberry Pi 3
4GB RAM
Screen up to 5.5 inches, AMOLED with low power mode for as N9
LTE
Camera comparable with 808 in Quality, software has to allow raw capture, custom exposure times and focus range, xenon flash
WLAN ac
Bluetooth 4.0 with LE support
Decent audio quality
Long lasting / decently lasting and easy replaceable battery

I will not participate in crowdfunding for this, other projects have shown the risks. Maybe I would be willing to give somebody a little incentive if he shows real progress, something between 20€ or 50€ with a little discount on the final product, but I will not preorder.
