I was contacted by Newark/element14 to process a pre-order for the R-Pi to be shipped appx April 4th. Well, I did not get in during the initial sales frenzy but at least I did not have to wait long to order. For me the size of the device will lend it self to many small embedded projects. The price certainly makes owning one a no brainer. Time will tell how successful the device will be based on how developers embrace it and make it useful for learning. But, for the rest of us hacks just another tool to make something happen. :biglaugh:
