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.

Pricing it higher would defeat the point. They wanted to make a computer that was affordable and reasonably powerful.
