Nooooo.... mine says

Having successfully passed its CE compliance testing, we can now confirm that your Raspberry Pi will be delivered by the end of June. You will receive a confirmation email prior to your Raspberry Pi being shipped.

Clearly I didn't read it properly on Monday! Assumed it was coming this week.

Oh, shame.

Why do I have the feeling that by the week of 28th May they mean the Saturday of that week?

I did a test yesterday with a Class 6 SD and a Class 10 SD.

It took the Class 10 SD Card 1:37 to boot into Debian and open up Python IDE and a staggering 3:20 to do the same with the Class 6

Thats VERY interesting. I was under the impression that class 10 cards were unsupported. What brand\model are you using?

I think it depends on the brand/model and perhaps quality of the flash memory. I've got 8gb and 16gb class 10 Transcends card and they both work with the Pi

PS Has anyone actually been invited to order or received a Pi from RS yet? I'm still waiting for my one from them

OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe) running on Raspberry Pi? Oh yes! :cool:

Got an email couple minutes ago from RS with my unique activation code to use in the RS store.

Only problem is the box for the activation code is greyed out and I can't type in it. Why are they taunting me like this!!!

Got my Raspi today

. Was supposed to be delivered next week but it seemed to come early.

I'm finding it a nightmare to find a case for it. What's everyone using to hold the thing?

someone needs to start writing a plex app for this baby.

i know it can already run xbmc but my AppleTV2 runs it pretty slow so i can assume this will be the same.

Plex app would be perfect as it puts my pc to work instead

Mines just arrived

numatic.nathan · 5 May 2012 at 11:27

tomk11 · 5 May 2012 at 11:39
