I thought "Wow! Visual Studio at last, something I understand how long before Farnell send me another 10% off email", then looked at their site "All Raspberry Pi orders for home / personal use are handled by our sister company CPC".
I'm sad now - how do I persuade my wife I need/want/deserve one without the leverage of a discount?
Bit more like it in the CPU stakes
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
Farnell UK are out of stock right now, they'll get more soon. CPC have stock.. for now 10% off doesn't amount to much on a low cost board, so I'd just go an order from CPC and get free delivery.
So they've been talking to Microsoft for six months (and Windows doesn't work on it yet), but are only going to bother looking at Debian now that it's shipping. Huh? If they'd given a few beta boards to key Debian ARM developers, then they could have had Debian support ready before launch.
Shame the GPU wasn't made faster at the same time... and the USB is all shared on a single port with a hub. But the CPU upgrade is very welcome, that old ARM11 was simply too little, even at launch. And it's finally proper ARMv7 with NEON. 900MHz is okay (apparently it overclocks reasonably too). The price is still the killer aspect, and the recent competitors that were getting close are now up against a much more worthy competitor.
My guess is that supporting Windows has forced the board to have 1GB of ram, in which case they can keep their free copy of Windows but the extra ram is very welcome. Overall the board is interesting enough that I have ordered one
Just wish it had been ARM V8, but I guess that would put it out of the target price range.
It seems to be much more powerful than what I own. I would like to enjoy playing with one.
