The New Raspberry Pi looks awesome !!! Its has every thing what I think makes better than the last one, but if they had increased the RAM to 1GB and the processing speed to 1GHz it would have been even better... I also like the positioning of the ports..

They've made some great improvements in the B+. Not sure there is anything I don't like. RAM and CPU are fine as they are because to change them would disrupt the eco-system of resources for little benefit to the core aims of the Pi Foundation. You don't need more than 512MB of RAM to learn programming.

Will there be an after-event video recording for members who missed the webinar?

Cheers.

I like the Raspberry Pi because it provides adequate processing power for most things. There is enough horsepower and memory that a new user is not immediately plunged into stripping down unneeded facilities of Linux to make room. Most of all, I like that the foundation has kept a strict lid on the price, and keeping the price down is what makes it reasonable to have one per student and reasonable to mess with the hardware in ways that carry some risk of damage. For the whiners who are always crying for more power and more memory, I'd say write better programs. If you can't fit your code in 512 meg, maybe you belong in a Windows environment where the OS can't seem to run in less than 8 Gig. Put another way, would doubling the power really satisfy you? Could you live in twice the memory? Or would you just be whining again that it's dual core, why isn't it quad core? It's got a gig, why doesn't it have 2 gig? If you want more memory and power, there are other solutions; other more expensive solutions.

Im a student and a newbie. Looking forward to adquire Raspberry Pi and a manual to learn how to use and ensamble Raspberry Pi, "A DIE FOR"
