Eben Upton Talks About the Raspberry Pi USB Computer

Posted by timothy on from the but-such-small-slices dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I contacted the Director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Eben Upton, and he graciously gave an interview pertaining to his foundation, the Raspberry Pi device, and how the device relates to robotics. The Raspberry Pi device is basically a $25 Linux PC on a credit card sized board! This microcomputer looks perfectly suited as a low cost, micro form factor, low power, PC performance robot brain."

    A heck of a lot cheaper than the Gumstix board I bought a few years ago! and about 1/6 the price of the Beagle Board I bought last year. Looks interesting.

    Maybe it's an old version of Firefox, from before it became crap.
