Saw these last year and wanted to wait until a newer one came out.

Well its here

https://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs

512MB ram over the previous 256MB.
2 USB instead of 1
10/100 Ethernet

for

£27 + a case for it and shipping = £38

Now there are multiple distros with XBMC preinstalled so download to card, plug in boot up and youre away.

Full 1080P H.264 hardware support.
Audio over HDMI DTS
Remote control support

for pennies.

If you want to just run an OS onit, pop a SD card with linux on it and youre done. You can also plug in USB drives for extra storage.

those changes where made some time ago. you seen to be a bit behind the news on this.

ordered mine months ago, sold mine over a month ago.

they're working on a camera unit for it though, nothing fancy, just a basic camera with basic sensor but should go into one of the ribbon cable slots on the board.

Fair enough im behind BUT I did leave it for a year to mature and it has. XBMC seems to be the business on it now. Its worth a punt for £40.

hook my Logi remote up and the nas and im off.

Pan, when did you order yours?

Now, that's getting more interesting.

I'll order one when they have them in stock and ready to ship though. I'm... still smarting from the ZX Spectrum debacle. Hurt

Mate, I dont think they will ever be in stock to ship right away. The site is saying shipping within 3 weeks but Pan mentioned he got his quickly.

Will put something on youtube when I get mine working as a media box.

I ordered one and got it within a week even though it said it would take 3 weeks.

I believe they only started selling the 512mb version in October, not ages ago Wink
