Re: [SLUG] Re: Raspberry Pi
The big thing is that it is essentially a small computer that is good enough to run quake, decodes h.264 etc This means it opens up a whole lot to software/OS tinkers. They are able to create their own devices/projects with limited funds ~$40 and limited electronics knowledge. eg They have been able to get XBMC on it, to create a htpc front end for the cost of raspbery pi, a mini usb charge cable (for power) and an SD card and may be a remote. No fans, spinning disks etc etc. Some people are looking at it as a cheaper, smaller, lower power alternative to a shuttle pc . Think of the posibilities People around the world were begging the developer to release it hence the interest. yes it's early days, but with this much interest it's better to get this out. People don't need a case if they are making their own thing with it. It's not an apple product but no soldering is required.
