It looks like the first Raspberry Pi computers should be available by
the end of the month, as they guys from Raspberry Pi have announced
that the first models have gone into mass production.
The first
models should start rolling off the production line by the end of
January, and the company will be selling the model B version for $35,
which comes with
256MB of RAM and an Ethernet adapter, the model A
version which costs $25 should be available later this year.
Raspberry
Pis started being made a couple of days ago, but I was forbidden to
tell you about it until signed contracts and receipts for payment had
arrived – it’s been killing me, especially since I’ve had tens of you
asking me when manufacturing would start every day for the last few
weeks. I am not good at keeping secrets.
You can find out more details about the Raspberry Pi over at their website, and there will be 10,000 available initially.
