Raspberry Pi Beta Boards Unveiled

Posted by samzenpus on from the check-it-out dept.

First time accepted submitter anwe79 writes "Those of you who have been wishing for a Raspberry Pi this Christmas will sadly not get your wish granted. However, you may be happy to hear that populated beta boards have now been produced. Beta of course means the boards still have some more testing to undergo. But, if all goes well, those inclined should be able to get their hands on production boards in January!"

    This is a full blown Linux box, unlike Arduino. I'm planning on hooking up a small USB-SP/DIF board. With a USB wifi adapter and web interface controlled by my phone, I'll have a cheap, pocket sized, remote controlled "bit bucket" for my concert recording hobby. I doubt you can do that with Arduino, or at least not without major hacking.
