Raspberry Pi Model B
w/ 256 MB RAM, 2 USB Ports and Ethernet
The Raspberry Pi (short: RPi or RasPi) is an ultra-low-cost credit-card sized computer board which was conceived with the primary goal of teaching computer programming to children. It's also a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games, it even plays high-definition video. Or you can use it as a small server for applications like mpd (http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki) or ownCloud (http://owncloud.org/). Or as a gaming or emulation system, e.g. the RPi board plus Keyrah (http://www.vesalia.de/e_keyrah.htm) plus a C64 case and keyboard make a superb Über-Commodore machine. :-)
The system must be booted from an SD card (suitable card images are freely available (http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads)), other mass storage devices can be connected via USB.

- SoC: Broadcom BCM2835 (CPU, GPU and SDRAM)

Impressive! It will be interesting to see what can be done with this as time goes by.

Seems more than a little dishonest to be disguising this advertising link for Vesalia as a neutral news item. Especially when the Raspberry Pi model B is actually £29.46 including delivery.
Should anyone wish to buy one from a recognised distributor, rather than this "Amiga company" making 30% markup on a product made by a charity:

I've just ordered one of these (from element14)
shall see how it goes ;)
I'd always wanted to build a Sega Megadrive emulator into a sega case, while keeping all the external connectors original...
this looks almost perfect for it ;)

it is still better than the 80-100% markup I've seen on ebay...
