Has anyone heard of Raspberry Pi, new lowcost mini PC (Due out Feb 2012)?

I recently heard about this product from a colleague here at element14 and curious to hear if any of you have either?  If you haven't perhaps your kids have? image

 

A description from the company describes it as:

 

"The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and  a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things  that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also  plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the  world to learn programming."

 

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the product as it sounds like a game changer in the computer world.

 

Here's their Twitter account and website if you'd like to check out more about it:

Thanks for your thoughts and comments as always!

    I have been watching the progress for several months now.  December was unlikely, January was mentioned, but hopefully February it will be for sale.   Wish, I could have purchased one of the Ebay ones, but way out of my budget.
