RPi with 512mb Memory?

wallarug

I just found this: http://au.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-modb-512m/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b-512mb/dp/2191863

 

Is this a raspberry pi with 512Mb RAM or is this a joke.

  • Interesting.  Site looks legitimate.  512MB Model B is listed as "coming soon", and price difference is reasonable.  When people were whingeing about 256MB being too small a year ago, the RasPowersThatBe explained that 512MB was a lot more expensive.  But that was a year ago, so the differential may be a lot smaller now.

     

    I wonder if this is something that slipped through and au.element14 was supposed to keep mum so that people wouldn't cancel current orders, leaving distributors stuck with 256MB inventory?  Personally I'm quite content with 256MB -- hey, it's twice the size of my BeagleBoard rev B4.

    I don't believe there is any inventory, at least in America.  They are back ordered for months.

    The e-mail seemed designed for American audiences, and even had a coupon for 15% off Pi accessories (which expires before my backorder date?). Seems a rather odd way to conduct business to say the least. Maybe it got sent out too soon or to the wrong region?
