Raspberry Pi Goes On Sale In US, Sells Out
hypnosec writes "Easter has brought some good news for Raspberry Pi fans in the US as the $25 Model A of the credit card sized computer is now available in the United States. Texas based Allied Electronics is the first local retailer selling the Raspberry Pi in the U.S. and has been selling the Pi through its online store. (There were companies selling the Raspberry Pi over eBay to U.S. users for a higher price tag earlier.) The Model A has sold out completely and as of this writing there is zero availability."
Allied isn't the only retailer that has them.
I can see 3 different US resellers with them in stock, shipping today, as others mentioned in posts. Model As and Bs.
The Raspberry Pi itself has been on sale in the US over a year.
The only people buying As are the ones who don't know how to find Bs and think there is no one other than the two adwords results at the top of Google search list that sell them.
Congratulations, you posted a story about a rather well known and popular computing device ... and get every single detail of it wrong in every possible way.
You have whole demonstrated you have no fucking clue what you are doing.

The Model B is available at MCM Electronics and they have the cases, pi/case combos, Gerboard, Pi-Face, Humble-Pi, Slice of Pi, Arduino goodies, screens, user interface stuff etc.... . 99.9% of their business is mail order but their massive warehouse is a short drive for me. Anytime I need electronics components I just call them up and go pick up my stuff at the little window behind the warehouse.
I bought two Pi B's from Allied just before Christmas. Am enjoying both of them right now. What, exactly, is the point of this story?
