They're shipping them in the order they were purchased. I don't know when I'll get mine, but it should be before the end of March. I'll let you know when I receive it.

  Any news on this ?

I totally forgot. I got mine a week or so ago - I've just not had time to play with it. It's really tiny - I was expecting small, but just how small I didn't really compute!

still waiting for mine,seems silly not to buy one,they are sooo cheap.
i think you will be able to use arduino bits and pieces.

Hi all

got mine a few days ago , but not had time to much around with yet , did have a very quick go , the windows type interface used did respond quite slow , but looking at the quake demo on the net , it looks like its quite powerfull for a £25 computer

will have a muck around asap

mick :)

it should function as a cheap networked media player,but i really like the GPIO,i think you can control it with a script ,must find my soldering iron...
