RPi with 512mb Memory?

Hi

I just wanted to update all of our forum members who have joined the discussion on the 512MB Raspberry Pi today.

As you know there has always been talk of increasing the RAM size on the Model B and we had this part created (but hidden) on our system a little while ago as part of the initial  product roadmap. I must stress that the part should have remained inactive but a flag was removed in error from the part last Friday which caused the part to be visible, in error, on our web site in a number of countries globally today.

The part is now removed from most of our sites and will be finally removed from all sites by around 10.30 UK time this evening and in the meantime the part has been made “un-orderable” on the sites where it is still visible (i.e. our UK site).

I apologise for any confusion this error has caused

Best regards

Can I just mention another little problem on E14 site.

There is two Model B product pages that are identical.

This could cause further confusion.
