Any Sign From Raspberry ?

I've been folowing Raspberry Pi developments, also.

Maybe, a little confusion in that there is online discussion and picture now of another architecture. A test board size. The original news release featured a smaller near USB size.

Either way, I look forward to getting one of these.

But, ordering from abroad may be necessary.

Cheers

Raspberry II would be the follow up from the Raspberry PI with the main difference that it would have a HDD connection. This make it for Windows the ultime play toy. The Raspbery PI can only on a memory card and basic designed fro Linux.

But if not here then must wait 3 months to the copy box Chine start with shipping in the ASEAN :). Sending by post from outside ASEAN make the price jump 200%

Care to share a link to a page describing this beast? I'm curious.

From Linux News;

The first ten Raspberry Pi Model B Beta Boards have arrived on eBay. Charity auction.

Yup. The one with serial # 9 has reached a price over 800 quids. Unless you're a collector or you want to donate, better buy an expensive notebook :-)

Looks like the Model B production (10K units) has started. Ship end of January. Price $35 US.

Model B (w/o ethernet port) will ship later. Price $25 US.

System specs:

  • CPU ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz
  • Storage capacity SD Card Slot (SD or SDHC card)
  • Memory: 128 (Model A) or 256 MiB (Model B)
  • Graphics: Broadcom VideoCore IV, OpenGL ES 2.0 , 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode

Now, news about a Raspberry competitor. British company, early development. $15 SOC? PMCIA board? Allwinner A10 (Cortex A8)

Maybe, more toys to play with.

It's already running XBMC(search XBMC forums), thanks to its HD decoder GPU, and it'll be running Android ICS sometime very soon. Pre ordered one already :)

Oh, and it's not for third world, it was developed primarily for educational purposes.
