End of my frustation

Former Member

After following the Raspi infos and discussions for month, I did not get a device or a preorder, even an interest entry.

 

So I decided to stop my frustation today and have ordered a Beaglebone. This has about the same functionalties as

the Raspi, but it is better suited for embedded developments, eg. 64 GPIOs, 4 UARTs, .....

It comes with a Linux distribution and one could even implement Android on it. And TI has some nice daughter boards

in the pipeline.

OK, it is more than double in price, I have to pay around 90 € including tax and shipment. But its worth to start with

my project soon, instead of burning my time waiting for Raspi, Gert-board, etc.

 

So I will have a close look next year to the Raspi project and wish to all of you successful projects.

  • Same, i was monitoring RaspberryPi.org from the start... and i get so frustrated when i didn't receive any notification when they started to sell not by email nor by RSS... And now when i come here i see sold out and no preorder as mentioned on RaspberryPi.org... WTF???

     

    And as far as i can see there is no shipment to my country... and it will cost me more than raspi itself... WTF???

    well seeing how they told you a time.. i dont see why they needed to email you aswell? seems you are the only person in the world that didnt get up early or go to bed late. they had preorders up for a LONG time if you missed it then you were about 2 days late to the site. you only have yourself to blame
