14 DAY TRIAL // Raspberry Pi, a miniature computer with an estimate cost of just $25 (€18.5) and that will most probably run a Linux distro or RISC OS, has entered mass production, according to one of its creators, Eben Upton.
Raspberry Pi is being developed in UK and build in China and the first shipment should number in the thousands. They will undergo a small testing period, of about two days, and then they will be made available to general public, at first in the United Kingdom market.
Raspberry Pi Foundation, the developers of this amazing mini-computer, have funded their work by selling mini-motherboards (ten models). They went on Ebay for ridiculously high prices, some people even paying $5000 (€ 3900) for one item. Raspberry Pi relies on an ARM processor with a clock speed of 700 MHz, plus 128 MB or 256 MB of RAM, an SD card slot and a 5V Micro USB connector that supplies the power. It also features RCA and HDMI ports.
