Raspberry Pi $25 Linux Computer Now In Production (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Tuesday January 17, 2012 @12:38AM from the cheap-computing-at-its-finest dept.

Timothy Lord caught up with Raspberry Pi product leader Eben Upton at CES. The long-awaited $25 Linux single-board computers are finally being shipped from the Chinese factory where they're being assembled and will be available for sale in just a few weeks. Eben talks not only about the Raspberry Pi boards and the add-on Gertboard, but about the eBay auction that helped finance Raspberry Pi. Timothy says he considers Eben Upton one of his "personal tech-world heroes." After watching this video, maybe he'll be one of yours, too. Read on below to watch.

Remember, the 1st batch of 10000 Raspberry Pi boards will ONLY be available from http://www.raspberrypi.com/ (you can order some nice stickers in the meantime)
Be aware that scam sites (like http://www.systemsofhull.co.uk/raspberry-model-p-261.html) have begun to pop-up. :-(
