My brother wants a Raspberry Pi for christmas and I really don't know anything about it. The board by itself is here:

But they also sell kits which I don't think includes the board here:

I believe he is going to attempt to make some kind of mobile device with a screen and whatnot, so would you suggest i get him that starter kit too, or would it be pointless for what he trying to do?

The above information is absolutely, 100% true. Unless you prove it to be false, and then in that case, I really don't care.
