Well it lives.   Powers up but doesnt boot into an OS.  I know practically nothing about linux so this is going to be new learning experience.  Downloading different image to try but as my connection is only 1.5mb will take awhile

@JJ

Have you tried any games or videos on it yet?
Would like to see a clip on youtube or something of you testing it.
Any chance?

Finally got invited to order last night.
They said I should have it within three weeks.


not had chance yet.   Got a sd card with XBMC image ready  to go.  Will maybe try and do some pictures, video, etc but only got iphone for video and will not be for a few days as pretty busy at mo

Hey JJ, your Pi has the 26pin GPIO header... Do you plan to use it?


had no plans to, to be honest.   Not my field of interest.  Are they not all going to have them then ?
