RPi with 512mb Memory?

Real quiet here on this - I'm interested - this true or not? Only clue seems to be in the cross posting between this thread and the one over there, not much to go on.

Bill.

512MB Model B appears to be quite real.

uk.farnell has 238 units left (over 300 earlier today IIRC): http://uk.farnell.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-modb-512m/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b-512mb/dp/2191863

au.element14 has 393 units left: http://au.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-modb-512m/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b-512mb/dp/2191863

USA Newark won't let you order any RasPis at this time, but does list the 512MB Model B if you scroll down a bit from the top.  However, the 512MB link doesn't go anywhere useful at the moment: http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=83T1943#similarProducts

Just ordered one from Element14 in Australia.  I'm in Sydney so should be here in a day or so, then will see if this is true.

Update: There is a Whats New posted on http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-42993/l/raspberry-pi-single-board-computer "Raspberry Pi Revision 2 - What's New? but I can't open the page.  Anyone able to see it?

Yup it is starting to show listed on many sites.

Just a guess but probably will get announced with the release of Android 4.0

Let me know, I wanted a rev 2 but couldn't get one last time I ordered.

I will be annoyied if I have to return again.

It may be worth asking the admins here to confirm that the link

http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-50776/l/raspberry-pi-model-b-revision-20-512mb-changes

is indeed meant to be protected and inaccessible, or whether that's a bug.  If it's correct then the referencing page linked by Peter should probably be modified --- it needs fixing anyway, as it's claiming that the Model A has 128MB of memory.

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay, here are some pictures I took of the board, receipt and some paper which says it's 512MB.

I have uploaded them to a site as the pictures were too big.

Why would you have to return again? You got exactly what you requested...a 256MB Raspberry PI.

I requested a rev2 board and got a rev1.

Good news.  Just had confirmation
