Hi guys, Raspberry Pis are available (singular or in bulk). Looks like only a 5-week(ish) wait time, which is much better than it was in the past (if you were even able to order one at all). Cost should be around $45 with shipping. http://au.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspbrry-pcba/sbc-raspberry-pi-model-b/... FYI, -Eric
Sounds great - could we coordinate a "bulk" order to save on shipping? C.

I already have one, so I won't be getting another ;) As a side note, there's plenty of other SoC boards out there to play with (at higher prices). I have a couple Mele A2000s (Allwinner A10-based, $75, basically more powerful than RPi in every way, http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/546571245-Mele-A2000-TV-box-Allwinner-A...), that I play with/hack on. There's also a quad core Exynos board that has been announced and is around $100-$130 dollars. If you think the RPi is underpowered, there are other options. Beware, though.. like the RPi, most stuff is in its infancy with regards to Linux/software support for the GPU and VPU. Fun to play with, but not quite there if you want to put something on it and just go with a fully running/supported system ;) -Eric
