AFAIK only one.

5 or 8 Mpixel camera module, 1080p recording.

Yes, as soon as someone from Broadcom writes-it (the camera interface is handled by the GPU)

You can already plug certain cameras from Sony or Nokia phones in there. But there's no driver yet. Details on the RPi forums.
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
If you were to lazy to read everything the points are: - the new iPad opens exactly the same as the previous two ones. iFixit re-edited their old guides where they said how easy they can service iPads; - Apple uses glues that allow opening, they could have used permanent glues for the same price; - Once you unglue the screen, the rest is easily serviceable.
My guess that iFixit just searches for a reason to hike up the price for servicing iPads. And to serve ads to and track (9 tracking scripts on that page!)/.-ers who are RTFA.
It's credit card size. Not "smell" at all. A bit hard to "safely implant" Want a covert storage device ? Implant a microSD under a nail.:-) It may hurt a bit.:-)
I'm one of the donators. I don't feel screwed as i received some limited edition stickers for it. The returns will be handled by Farnell & RS - the foundation only licenses the design.
Your "stick" in sand... ewww... gross... you'll get some infection.
Same in the Romania store - i just entered my name again in the "Company" field and zeroes whenever asked for other numbers. The order went through, got the confirmation, even called to confirm and they told me it's okay.
This being a high-profile project, they at least tried to get them manufactured in UK. If they went to China first, yes, we would had the boards on sale in January but everybody & their dog would had blamed the foundations for this.
You fail at reading the RPi forums: - 100 empty, unpopulated boards were manufactured. All had a bug. And components had to be hand-soldered. - The "official" Linux distro - Fedora - is being created by the Fedora guys. So all the delay faults lie with them, not the foundation. - The foundation is not the one at fault that the UK manufacturers are greedy and lazy - Yes, sh*t happens - I am from outside UK, in a 3rd world country and i bought one without issues - What's the HUB has to do with more RAM on the $25 model ?
They are a 6-person not-for profit foundation - they don't have a hundred-person PR department & co. The launch for the C & D will be smoother:)
According to information gathered from the Twitter stream, the Raspberry Pi foundation was assured by both RS & Farnell that: - They have world-wide distribution; - Individual buyers (not companies) will be able to easily order one; - Their servers will hold.
The failure is on the part of the big companies, not on the part of the "6 guys who mortaged their houses for founding" not-for-profit foundation.
Yep, that's also what the Farnell sales guys told me on the phone this morning - their had 0 Raspberry Pi stock before sales begun so all orders placed were pre-orders.
$35 + Netherlands VAT of 19% = $41.65 You are complaining for 85 cents (which are surely from UKP-EURO floating exchange rates) ?
I should be the one to complain that i lost over one Euro on the excange rate to RON in the Farnell Romania store, that my VAT is 24% and shipping is more expensive. But i won't complain and i ordered one.
It was a great idea from the part of the Raspberry Pi foundation, too bad that RS & Farnell underestimated the demand (even after warned by the foundation).
"Limit of one per person" - reportedly people who ordered 2 or more on the Farnell site received an invoice for a single one (for the cost of a single one). So at least Farnell got that right.

Care to tell us more ? Or you're just a one-line troll ?

Yep,
Remake in 1991 - "Leisure Suit Larry: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards - VGA"

Apple II was released in 1977.
Macintosh in 1984.
IBM PS/2 in 1987.

Like this:
One piece I/O machine
(you might have to resize the browser width a bit)
It's credit card size. Not "smell" at all. :-) It may hurt a bit. :-)
A bit hard to "safely implant"
Want a covert storage device ? Implant a microSD under a nail.
Mine is shipping.
You should have stayed awake at 06:00 GMT that day.
It was already imagined.
It is called a "Bramble".
The Panda Security site now serves malware - it asks me to install an antivirus. And i'm on a mac. Same message when accesed from Linux.
I'm one of the donators. I don't feel screwed as i received some limited edition stickers for it.

Your "stick" in sand ... ewww ... gross ... you'll get some infection.
"vapourware" ...
With an "u"
It's british.
Tsk, tsk, tsk
Nope. You're the only one.
All orders yesterday were pre-orders. The RPIs were not in stock at both RS & Farnell yesterday. So there you have-it.
Kickstarer projects can only be opened by companies or individuals having an account in a US bank. The Raspberry Pi foundation is UK-based.

Wrong.
This is the first Pi :)
