Dear Friends: I think this device is cheap, good for Technical school in Cambodia. It's Linux open source, can be used with open office SW, no need to pay MS license fee.
What do you think? Best regards, //Perom - http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/01/raspberry-pi/ Hurray, it is now being mass-produced. Should be available for mail order in a couple of weeks. Since the initial order may be limited to 1 or a few units only, I may ask some of my friends to order some for me (if you are not interested in owning 1 for yourself). Stay tuned. <http://www.wired.com/geekdad> *GeekDad <http://www.wired.com/geekdad>* Parents, Kids and the Stuff We Obsess About <http://www.wired.com/geekdad> Previous post<http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/01/kids-app-design/?intcid=postnav> Next post<http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/01/a-message-from-glados/?intcid=postnav> Raspberry Pi Begins Manufacturing! - - - 1 in*Shar**e* - By Roy Wood <http://www.wired.com/geekdad/author/rrwood/> - Email Author <[email protected]> - January 16, 2012 | - 6:45 am | - Categories: Electronic Geek<http://www.wired.com/geekdad/category/electronic-geek/> - - [image: Description: http://www.wired.com/geekdad/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Raspberry-Pi-Logo-200x178.jpg]<http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2012/01/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-logo/>All you computer hobbyists out there will be delighted to know that the Raspberry Pi has officially headed for manufacturing. The news was officially announced <http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/509> at the Raspberry Pi site a few days ago: 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. This means that the first units from the first batch will be rolling off the line at the end of January. This first batch will consist only of Model Bs, although you will be able to buy Model As later on. Details about whether we’ll wait for all 10k to come off the line before starting sales, and about what date we’ll be starting on, will come later; so that gives you something else for you to shift around nervously on your chairs about for at least another week or so. The Raspberry Pi system is a single-board computer based on the Broadcom BCM2835 system-on-a-chip. The specs include a 700MHZ ARM CPU, a VideoCore IV GPU, up to 256MB of RAM, an SD card reader, USB ports, and an optional ethernet port. The device supports common USB peripherals like mice and keyboards, can be connected to a TV or monitor, and will run Debian Linux. Oh — and did I mention that a Pi will cost a mere $25 or $35, depending on the model? That’s a *serious* amount of computing power in a small, inexpensive package. Considering the impact that the Arduino has had for DIY electronics, I’m looking forward to seeing what the Raspberry Pi does for hobbyist computing. Head over to the Raspberry Pi site <http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs> for more information. In particular, the FAQ page<http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs>will tell you pretty much everything you need to know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
