What problem are they solving for with the hybrid approach?
It's not exactly a big problem, but my company makes a three-axis desktop CNC machine powered by an ATMega328P that is dependent on having a Windows PC connected to it in order to run the proprietary software. Uno Q has me thinking we can eliminate the PC along with our custom PCB, making a more compact and convenient stand-alone system that would also come with a lower price tag. I may order a few to experiment with this idea, but again, it's not a huge problem and something only specific customers would care about.
I'm curious what the Maker community comes up with, provided it sticks around and remains supported, unlike the Edison.
The problem of showing "synergy" between Arduino and Qualcomm.
