Raspberry Pi shipping

[whitetop]

The budget PC aimed at bringing back programming is ready to ship after various manufacturing delays

RS Components out of Oxford confirmed taking delivery of several Raspberry Pi systems, which will ship out to the first group of customers in order of when they registered their interest in the systems on the RS and Allied Electronics websites, the company said.

"We are delighted to have the first batch of fully compliant products in our warehouse and to be able to invite the first wave of customers who registered for a Raspberry Pi to place their orders from this initial stock," Glenn Jarrett, Head of Electronics Marketing at RS, said in a statement. "There has been a great deal of anticipation for Raspberry Pi since its launch at the end of February, and it is important that we provide a delivery guarantee to customers when they place their order."

There has been a lot of interest in Raspberry Pi systems due to their small size and ultra low cost. The Model A version ships with 256MB of onboard RAM, one USB port, Broadcom BCM2835 SoC with an ARM processor clocked at 700MHz and Videocore 4 GPU, onboard audio, HDMI output, 3.5mm jack, RCA video, and an SD card slot. The Model B version sports an extra USB port and an Ethernet port.

[zack247]

i wonder if we'd be able to get some sort of GPS navigation system set up with one of these?
im also curious about the price tag, how much are they going to be selling for?
