Linux computer Raspberry Pi will be available for order in January

Published photos of the beta version of the computer Raspberry Pi

An ultra-compact Linux computer will soon be available on the official Raspberry Pi project website. Or buy by auction on the site already in December (this is for the most impatient) CAUTION - Traffic! Specifications are available on the wiki page . Initially it was assumed that it would be possible to preserve the form factor of the USB drive, but in the end, the size of the prototype and the first commercial version of the device correspond to the size of the plastic card.
The expected price of the device is extremely attractive, many expect the device to appear on the market. Let's see if the Raspberry Pi will meet the expectations of potential customers. Of course, the target audience of the device is not as wide as we would like, but in any case it should find its consumer. Possible applications of the Raspberry Pi are limited mainly by the imagination of the developer. It is possible to hope from this high-tech product, users will get an analogue of Guruplug / SheevaPlug, but only in this case the manufacturer will be able to avoid problems with the failure of microcomputers due to the unsuccessfully implemented heat removal mechanism.

Next are photos of the board after mounting components on it:

As well as the scheme, which shows the differences between the versions "A" and "B" of the device:



To whom it is interesting, I propose to listen to what people who are involved in the development are directly talking about their project:
