I hope the markup will come down... placed my e-mail on it...
Some dudes posted ebay auctions with 4x mark up haha. They were pulled because there was no way they had stock. I wouldn't be surprised if resellers have about a month window of making some good money on these until the April shipments roll in. The longest wait I've heard for someone preordering is early May. The first people will receive their raspberry pi in middle of March.
So all-in-all, aside from the US distribution mess up, I think they did okay trying to meet demand. Farnell was saying they were getting 600 emails a second during peak demand.

I can't wait for these to be more available, and in the US. I'll be buying at least 1 for sure, and most likely quite a few more. So many uses. Awesome little product.
