Well, I'm sold. Definitely getting one of these little dudes. I could use a little inspiration for taking up some programming, and it's too much of a novelty in itself to pass up.
they said they're working on a xbmc port for this so it's a no brainer to get one.
Oh, they're without a case? Brb, buying some lego.
I met one of the guys who came up with this the other day
That is really amazing.
I'd love to assemble one of these into a vehicle as some sort of grand media centre in my car.
With this, I shall create an army of super robot soldiers!
Jokes aside, this little guy's amazing!
I want one.
It runs better than our school netbooks.
This thing might be really useful though kinda sucks that it only supports linux, would be really neat if it was possible to run Windows 95/98/XP on this.

And the RAM is a bit low. But eh, this isn't really supposed to be a gaming PC.
Maybe in the future there'll be more improved models.

I've had huge problems getting laptops with much better specs playing media smoothly (with good codecs). So I wouldn't bet on it.

Well apparently windows 8 is supposed to support the ARM architecture.
BUT this board isn't powerful enough for Windows 8.
Could probably run [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Embedded_CE_6.0"]Windows Embedded CE 6.0[/URL] or maybe [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Phone_7"]Windows Phone 7[/URL]

The chip powering the Raspberry Pi is designed with High Definition media playback in mind.
It's got built-in accelerators meant only for that.
Will we be able to buy these for around $25 or do they just cost that much to make?
Emulator ! for NES
Would be useful for little kids and the elderly.
