Do any production RPi's actually exist?

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

RPi Trustee PeteL claims to have been "lucky" to have had  the "honour" of booting an RPi fresh from the UK in a "heart stopping" demonstration at the launch event in Nuremberg.

Was this a production RPi?

    As I said in another post, the Swedish distributor https://www.microkit.se/

     

    says that there is stock at Farnell. "På huvudlager" means the quantity in stock at Farnell, which at the moment is 93 with a delivery time of 2-3 days.

    The total price delivered to my door works out at approximately £36.50 including VAT. I haven't ordered this one as I already have one on order with cables. The cables are causing the delay for me but I can wait.

    At this point, if it's in stock, it's not Raspberry Pi,

    and if it's Raspberry Pi, it's not in stock. image

    This sounds familiar to me. An old company I used to work for expected deliveries from china and started to charge people for the goods even before they were in the uk.

     

    Ps just had an email from RS.

    I think it gets more and more obvious they had nothing when they did the launch. It sounds pretty much there was nothing in a Farnell or RS warehouse, nothing on a boat from China. A bunch of broken boards with the wrong Ethernet jack in some factory in China, if any. What a charade.
