After the long wait, Raspberry Pi is finally shipping at $30 USD (£18GBP) to our doors. The shipping was supposed to happen last month, but there was some problems with the components. The first devices arrived at the distributors last week and all pre-ordered boards should be in the hands of customers by the 20th of April.
These are still Model B, which lists at $35 USD (£21 GBP) which features a pair of USB ports along with Ethernet connectivity. The stripped-down Model A has only one USB and no Ethernet but should sell (wholesale) at $25 USD (£15 GBP).
The Raspberry Pi is supposed to interest kids in computing so lots should be sold to schools. (Still, schools have to pay VAT even if they can reduce the cost of shipping).
So far 250,000 people are waiting to get their hands on the small, cheap based Linux computer.
Raspberry Pi unboxing videos have started to pop-up across the web. Here is one from YouTube: Video.
