actually, the larger version (credit card sizes) are being shipped and delivered commercially right now. they are currently sold out because of the massive demand, but they will be creating more batches for summer for many more people to get. By the way, I'm 15 and i am sooooo getting it.

Thumbs up for democratizing technology, and encouraging people to be makers instead of takers.

Looked for this after listening to Pete Lomas' talk in Sao Paolo.

So cool to find the node that started it all. On with the revolution :-)

whats the difference between pi and arduino?

[Rich Pyke]

Try searching ebay for Raspberry Pi, there are plenty on there. I have stock ready to ship as do a few other online stockists, although avoid RS as they have a 14 week wait so you wont get it until Christmas.
