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

nlarson

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!

  • Well being an pre-existing forum member @ the Raspberry PI foundation site i hope things go well from now on.

     

    I shudder to think if what everyone does first is Media Centre this PI. I would hate that.

     

    I cant belive some people don't know a thing about this device. shocking.

     

    Open your mind and get programming.

    I'm really happy that Premier Farnell is helping them boost production and distribution - way to step up, guys!!

     

    Mike, I'm with you in that I would prefer to see some amazing creations and innovations coming from all the people that are buying the RaspPi - but you realize that after your comment we're expecting something brilliant from you now, eh? image

    Well i will try my best i have to get my Python skills up to scratch first though. im hopefully going to use this for security webcams and some compilation farms maybe. But im sure the Radio controlled modelling might creep inat some point next year...

     

    Its all so exciting, and getting back into programming is the sole reason for buying this for me. I have MAC a pc 1 16 TB server but this will be my favorite devices of choice. I also do Music production so tying with that would be great.
