(2012-02-29) Raspberry Pi Launch

The Raspberry Pi became available yesterday and immediately sold out. $35 for a LinuxOS PC board: add storage, TV-as-monitor, and keyboard. Has EtherNet and USB, but no WiFi. (Kinda-EmbeddedHardware.)

Giz Modo lists their 5 favorite project ideas to use it: Media Center, etc.

Fred Wilson thinks: For markets that can be end to end digital, like education, this is a game changer. (Educational Technology)

In the US, I think the ongoing cost of Broad Band trumps the hardware cost.
