Greetings IoT Weekly News Readers! Thank you for reading this publication. The biggest news this week is all about the Raspberry Pi Zero. Released to much fanfare, this computer is only $5. At this price, it means some amazing and innovative things for companies to explore developing in the Internet of Things.

To that point I have an article in this issue that reinforces that innovation is being driven by small vendors and startups. I round out this issue with articles on security, news from the enterprise world, wearables and a development focused Kickstarter project.
