rasberry Pi (ARM chip computer)
bmarkus:
I placed an order :)
bmarkus:
BTW, it is version 'B'. It's preliminiray price tag was $35. I get it locally for $42,3 + 27% tax (single unit).
maro:
Does this include the local shipping charges? In my case the price from the local Farnell page translates to ca. 65 USD, and at that level I've simple lost any interest. And of course it was not available for shipment anyway.
bmarkus:
They are 20 minutes away so I will simply jump in to the office. Adding $2 of anything it would be free to the door. In-country it is cca. $6.5 but free above $100 orders.

Yes
see recently these "web applications" from the Chromium store have really interested me.
There are hundreds and hundreds of them for FREE which allow you computer to do lots
of stuff. The apps don't appear to use your local CPU hardly at all...so you can run several
apps at the same time.
It's amazing what apps are available..i was able to "mimic" many of my win32 desktop
computing apps with tiny free chromium web apps...in an afternoon. Radio players...stream
recorders....you name it...
I think this idea takes a computer like the Rasberry Pi into new territory....making it a totally useful
desktop computer.
Chromium can also run on Android 4 now....taking any low cost tablet computer into new
computing territory...
I love many of the free apps for Chromium...examples are
"audiotool" a DAW as a web app (Digital Audio workstation)
"radio player Live"
"Cortexit" screen reader
"Dark scroll" word processor
but there are infact hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of these free apps
a really interesting app is web VNC inside a web page. Allowing you to remotelty connect to another GUI desktop(server) just by using a web page on a local machine someplace. (in other words any Public computer connected to the web)
