Nerds assemble! Raspberry pi close to launch date.

At the moment its pre-order from either Element 14 (Farnell offshoot I think) or RS Components. The memory is now the same on both models. Initially Model A was going to have 128MB RAM, 1 USB socket and no Ethernet port. Model B was going to have 256MB RAM, 2 USB and an Ethernet port. Models A and B now will both have 256MB RAM.

I agree with you on the supporting the idea. It may not work but no-one else is doing anything as well publicised or as cheap and its worth backing it to help it along.
Cheers for that - registered my interest :). Interesting to see they are doing bundles - only interested in the higher spec model and a SD card though.

Hmmm wondering what I could do with it...

Finally done a pre-order on Farnell, got the email yesterday but I'd forgotten my password, tried to get a password reminder but nothing came though, just tried again and it finally worked.

Lead time was 30 days and now 58 days though :(

Oh the accessories bundle? Yeah, I'd like to see the actual products in the bundle and how much it'd cost before I decide if I'm going to get the components myself.
 

Looks like this

Looks stupid, I just want a raspberry pi t shirt!
 
The designer of the case from http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=21384303&postcount=241 reckons it should cost under €40 Euros excluding taxes. So £33 + delivery + tax. :( Quite a lot for a simple case.

What T shirt is it? As I will be wearing my one with pride if it has the raspberry pi logo on it.
Black with Raspberry Pi logo and Element 14 text.

I forgot! Can you change it?
Yep. Someone in the other thread didn't specify t-shirt size, I said to contact them, think it worked for him.

Wouldn't surprise me if Raspberry Pi do start something like that later on, to make more money for the charity.

Same. Just got an email saying "URGENT ORDER INFORMATION", which contained only the invoice with the same dispatch date from the last email :confused:

I'm quite far back in the farnell queue after I made a schoolboy error on wednesday morning:
Looked at both suppliers, decided that RS would be the better choice because i already have an account on there, joined their waiting list. Took me a few days before i realised that it would have been smarter to sign up to both at the same time >.<
Still, hopefully i'm nearer the front of the RS queue and get it before May :(
