Raspberry Pi: Anyone planning to get one?
I'm sure most of you have heard of it, but if not, it is a small ARM based board about the size of a credit card that will run linux. It is powerful enough to play HD video, run word processors, and play basic games. It has HDMI, USB, Ethernet, audio jacks, composite video out, SD slot, and is powered by a 5 v usb mini jack. All for 25 dollars.
The purpose of the device is to allow 3rd world countries to purchase the small devices and teach their people how to use computers and access the internet as well as giving a cheap device to students to learn to program.
I am definitely going to pick one up when they come out.
The PCBs just arrived, so it will probably be ready to ship soon!

You guys going to buy one when they hit the streets? Can't wait to custom fab a case for it :)
Also, it runs Quake 3 (1080p, 4xAA, max details) low fps, but still crazy:

It is supposedly as powerful as the first Xbox. My question though is, how fast does it SuperPi 32M? lol
