One of the Raspberry Pi distributors is taking pre orders it looks like.  Right now they're saying a 12 week lead time.  None the less, just mentioning it to a few others around we've already gotten a list started.  Who else would like to add their name to the batch?

Joe - 1
Mark - 2

What the hell, put me down for one as well.  I could find something to do with it, I'm sure.

It's beginning to sound like we need a RasPI fall hackathon or something since we probably won't get them until around Octoberish

Definitely not too late.  I was wanting to give as many people opportunity to join in as possible.  It says a lead time of 12 weeks after all.

Guess I'll drink the kool-aid and join in, put me down for 1. I'm sure we'll see some great things come out of these.

Put me down for 2 as well, if these are the ones with ethernet.

If not, I'll just take 1

2 things of note I found today.
1. Element 14 seems to be having problems taking orders for the Raspberry Pi

Thank you for your interest in Raspberry Pi.

We know you have already registered for this great new technology, unfortunately we are currently experiencing a huge number of requests and are temporarily unable to take your order.

Please try the link in your email again later, we still have your place in line.

Until then, for the very latest updates, join the conversation at:

http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi?view=overview

   I've been getting this the last few days.

2. It seems Raspbian is now able to access the floating point hardware instead of being stuck using the soft float. So expect lots of things to work faster.

Cheers and happy Friday.

Yeah, element14 aren't the ones taking preorders. I'm out of town until Sunday, Monday when I get back I'll send out further details on the whole order and get the ball rolling.

FYI, don't know how it will affect us, but they just made the following post on the official RasPI blog:

Actually I had already sent an inquiry off to them about a bulk order this morning.

As mentioned, I've sent of a request for quote and inquiry about potential discounts for a bulk order to the email listed on the Element14 announcement.  Once I hear back from them I'll provide more details for final cost and any other details they provide me.

Found this DIY plexi Raspi case construction instructions - that would give us something to working on until September or October :)

This works out as far as quantity, if it's not to late as I'd like to reduce my order to 1.
