Does anyone know a way to get a hold of one of these before next year?

[Paul Kerchen]

I've got two on order that are supposed to ship around the end of June.  And, I just read that they're taking the next 4000 orders from the waiting list (yes, the waiting list to *order* one) because deliveries are ahead of schedule.  So, you can probably get one by fall if you get on the order waiting list now. :P  Or, if you've got a really compelling idea for one, I might be persuaded to sell you one of mine (at cost) when they arrive. ;)

At what cost are these Duino's selling?

[Shawn McCombs]

Thank you Paul I will be very interested in getting one.from you. If
you wouldn't mind, that is.

[Shawn McCombs]

Wait, which one did you get? The 25 or 35 one? Also whats a hot
arduino? o.O

[Roger S]

Some Arduinos I got from China.

The 35.  I don't think anyone is getting the 25. :-)

The 25 ones isn't for sale yet I don't think.

I also have two on order for this summer (different sources). I'll probably sell one.

I would love to someday just have bins of boards in the electronics
room, "raspberry pi" "beagleboard" "arduino" "fez panda" "x86 SBC". At
the moment we only have the last three..

But, think about that for a sec. If you just want to make a project on
an embedded computer, those last three span a pretty broad range of
capabilities. Why wait for the vaporberry when you could be building
now?

Wait, do you guys need/want more x86 SBCs?

There's no such thing as too many x86 SBC's. Especially if the GPIO
and boot stuff are documented.

Currently there's a bin of Routerboard 230 or similar, which "boast"
an SC1100 running at 266MHz, USB ports(!!!!!), a full-size 3.3v PCI
slot, miniPCI, two CardBus, and all the usual (dual 10/100, rs232,
CompactFlash, 44-pin PATA, PC100 SODIMM), and a few GPIO lines. I got
a handful of these for obscenely cheap, because they'd been brutally
removed and some have minor damage; bent pins, ripped-out caps, minor
scratches. Nothing unfixable, and most of them do POST.

There's also a handful of Soekris boards around here somewhere --
probably in my member storage. I'll add those to the bin.

At home I have a small collection of PICMG hardware, including some
700MHz Pentium-3 SBCs and a handful of backplanes. The application for
which I initially snagged these failed to materialize, so they've been
gathering dust.

If you have beefier or more useful stuff available, mention it so
folks can request it if they have a project in mind, and/or if you
have several identical ones you're looking to get rid of, that might
justify creating a bin.

Hey Paul, did you have to pay that bs 20 shipping charge?

Also what is a x86 SBC? Is it like the pi? It sounds a lot bigger, :/

how much are these hot arduinos? and do they have ftdi onboard?

[Shawn McCombs]

I also want to note that I had to send hackaday a msg just to get them
to start posting something about the pi. The first article got over
100 comments. lol

Does anyone know any better sites that actually stay up to date on
whats going on?

[Paul Kerchen]

Well, aside from raspberrypi.org and the forums therein, Ars Technica
and Adafruit do a reasonably good job of posting current info about the
Pi. Also, this site just went live a few days ago:
http://www.themagpi.com/. It's an online magazine dedicated to the Pi,
so presumably they'd be fairly fairly up-to-date. ;)

OK, this is just too funny to not post to this thread ...

I got my Raspberry Pi today! Well, I got one of the three I have ordered. This one came by air from the UK via RS Components. I registered my interest there within the first hour of the announcement, but of course I didn't make it in soon enough to get any from the first batch. Which is to say, this is from the first shipment of the mass production run.

Now that they're delivering out of the production runs I expect availability to loosen up fairly soon. If you order now I'll bet you get one in July, August at the latest. 

That said, newark element14 has yet to ship me one. The first order I placed about 2 pm on the 29th, and the second about five days later. I'm crossing my fingers that the second order doesn't get cancelled when they fill the first one because they're only supposed to sell one per customer until they are sitting on some stock. We'll see.
