Rasberry Pi

[Watson, Keith]

Here's a collection of info on the Raspberry Pi. I checked their website the other day and production is going to be delayed so they should come out in December 2011.

So why is this important? How about XBMC front end to your MythTV box that does 1080P or NTSC out for only $35.

Cost will be between $25 and $35.

The Raspberry Pi will support General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO), I2C, I2S, SPI

One of the big deals is that the Raspberry Pi will do 1080P natively and the HDMI interface will include audio.

Here is a demonstration of the Raspberry Pi running Quake III.
