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.

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...

got it  2 weeks ago and its ace!
I have done a few electronics projects on it using the GPIO and am at last learning quite a lot about linux.
Its a brilliant device,GUI is a bit slow but there is a new Debian RaspBian distro coming out,which is by all accounts is much faster,it's also pretty easy to overclock apparently.Nerdtastik!!!!!

Mine did for a month. I sold it on eBay and got double what I paid, so it was worth it in the end.

Pretty cheap just to use it as a networked media player with xbmc.
