Raspberry Pi is here!

Friday, April 13, 2012 The First Batch Of Raspberry Pi Arrives In Stock The first batch of Raspberry Pi computers has arrived at an Oxford warehouse. Orders of the coveted £31 computer could be with IT enthusiasts early next week. The credit card-sized computer board is designed to entice children, and grown-ups, into learning how to programme a computer. Eben Upton, executive director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation told The Huffington Post: "We're staggered by the level of demand for the Raspberry Pi. Even as recently as Christmas, we were expecting to maybe sell a few tens of thousands over the lifetime of the product, which lead us to build a fairly small initial run. Our partners are working hard to manufacture and distribute more units, with the next batch expected to arrive in the UK within the next couple of weeks." The Raspberry Pi is plugs into a TV and a keyboard to create a fully working, ARM-based PC. It will handle spreadsheets, word-processing, games and play high definition video.
