$25 Prototype Computer Raspberry Pi Wins Award
|
An award for not being on time and a still unknown price? We have been waiting for it for a long time ya know.
I rather suspect that arm will be a part of the common geeks tabletop at some time. But, I thought that about the Alpha processor. |
Release date -first of Nov
Release date end of Nov Release date Maybe in Dec Maybe Santa can work on this...................... O wait....Did they say what year? I'm just saying...... :rolleyes: |
Sounds like an interesting toy, but it would be more interesting if they were already selling the device. A thing like this is perfect for building custom home automatics...

Also an unknown price? Hasn't it been $25 for a Model A (128mb ram 1xUSB no network) and $35 for a Model B (256mb ram 2xUSB 10/100 network) for months if not longer. I know they have tried for a $25 price point for quite some time, they even put a video up recently of something they tried to do in 2006 with ATMel microprocessors for $25.

Can you buy one?
Sorry, I have lived just too long. I have wanted to buy stuff that was supposed to be $X.XX or such. And ends up being $XXXXXX.XX We will see if the price holds up. |
Well this company fills me with more hope than say http://noteslate.com/ for fulfilling it's promises.
They have videos of the pre production models working, one of the founders works for Broadcom as his day job and it uses a Broadcom chip, plus other videos from partners who have had the pre production models look good. Where as NoteSlate keep posting in bad English that they are a real company and they are working on the device it will be a writable 10" eink tablet for $99, in the mean time all you ever see is 3dMax renderings of a concept. I know what you mean about hype, fingers crossed then they live up to expectation, if they don't they have kind of alienated all the people who are currently interested like the Arduino and Maker community. |
