  • Question for Eben at Maker Faire:

     

    "Now that Pi production volumes have been raised by well over an order of magnitude compared to the original 10k batch, it's clear that Pi's BOM costs have plummetted as is normal in the industry, and will plummet further once manufactured in school volumes.  How will the Foundation and its manufacturing partners use this new BOM cost headroom in the design of Raspberry Pi v2?"

    Sorry didn't get to ask this directly.  But our videographer recorded answers from Eben to many individual questions that were submitted.  I wasn't there at the time so I'm not sure exactly which ones will be included.  I believe the video production work is going on right now and will be posted in this group when ready.
