25 dollar computer coming
SunBurnt:
My friend had 2 portable USB mini laptop HDs, cigarette case size, good for a swap.
The Raspberry Pi most probably has only USB-2 interfaces, but it`s still very fast.
I`m very suspicious of this, talk of a $100 NetTop has never materialized.

I was doubtful too, but, attending their forum/blog, and perceiving the amount of hard work, interest and zealots building up around the project, I am getting more and more confident about it getting real. We'll see...
SunBurnt:
If the Raspberry Pi turns out to be the $100 NetBook I`ll be surprised and very pleased.

hello
http://www.raspberrypi.org/
well it looks like full steam ahead.
they should have the final credit card sized board ready in a little while. It will be in a housing and
ready for practical home usage.
The analogue TV connector is very handy. Even today there are still millions of
analogue tv's around. i presume the credit card sized final board will be in a housing and
have the rasberry pi logo and be in packaged in a box with perhaps an sd card containing Debian
or whatever. The keyboard, mouse and video cable are customers responsibility

Hello
well the new Rasberry Pi PC computer has finally gone on sale to the world.
You can buy the Rasberry Pi "model b" computers from today!
Interestingly the "model A" computer has recieved an unusual free upgrade to 256 megs of RAM.
This makes the $25 model A computer a better buy now. You can get new 99 cent USB "ethernet" internet adapaters and new 50 cent USB 4 hubs on ebay. This leaves you with the power of a model B machine for just the price of a model A

All the computers are being sold by 2 proper distributers now. It's 2 global distributors and the computers will be sold in their stores and their catalogues globally. The computers will also
be manufactured by these 2 companies so "volume" manufacture won't be limited to 10 thousand
units. They will be able to manufacture say 100 thousand computers or as demand requires.
Through the distributor you will also be able to place BULK orders for Rasberry Pi machines to the
same name and address. This is handy for schools and other buyers. (or even re-sellers if such a thing exists)
Vince.
