I've heard that all the Raspberries just suck too much power to make a decent portable device. Am I wrong about that?

Also, 512MB of RAM just isn't enough of an upgrade from the n900 to be very attractive.
Raspberry Pi Zero and CHIP (http://getchip.com/) are a lot smaller and cheaper than Raspberry A+/B+/2B. So I bet the community will develop new decides around them in 2016.
