https://twitter.com/#!/Raspberry_Pi
apparently that RS page was the wrong one, I never found a right one
farnell pre-orders only, I guess some lucky ppl got through and ordered up the initial allocations at both shops Oh well, just have to wait and get one with a case etc. Fingers crossed those that got them put them to good use, and they're not just used to run xbmc.

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
Well that was a balls up. Don't know anybody who managed to get one from RS...Farnell's website was on it's knees by 06:01 so I don't know how people can say they managed to order one from them.

Re: Raspberry Pi - a revolution?
They already were on ebay today at £39, the picture though showed an alpha board and raspberry pi was looking at getting them removed as the picture especially was wrong and also copyrighted.
