| 1262234 | 2012-03-05 19:19:00 | The thing is, if a bunch of techies from the UK can design and churn out such a sweet device for a low cost what the hell are all the other companies doing? I mean with all their buying power, factories and apples foxconn slave labour you could make one for much less! It's estimated that the 6th gen nano is about $45 in the making yet this thing packs much more in there. What the world is coming to, i'll never know! Yes but a bunch of enthusiasts will not be recording the amount of hours they spent getting to a workable machine and so have know amount of accountability in $ value unlike a business that has to make money |

| 1262235 | 2012-03-05 21:35:00 | I want one, but will wifi be difficult to get working? I want it to stream ondemand media (as I live in England now and a lot of things are on the net). | RusEvo (3572) | ||
| 1262236 | 2012-03-05 21:40:00 | No more difficult than a usual PC, why? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1262237 | 2012-03-05 23:27:00 | Sounds interesting, but it doesn't have PS/2 ports, or a hard drive, or support for sata, so useless. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1262238 | 2012-03-05 23:44:00 | just a raw device at this point, but many third party's are working on a case. I would imagine all sorts of third party add-ons being created for this. |

| 1262239 | 2012-03-05 23:54:00 | I think I'll stick with Arduinos. The Raspberry Pi won't push the Arduino out as they really are two different things with the Arduino having heaps of sensor inputs but I still want a Pi too. Could probably link the two to make even more interesting things. |

| 1262240 | 2012-03-06 04:12:00 | Sounds interesting, but it doesn't have PS/2 ports, or a hard drive, or support for sata, so useless. I can think of dozens of uses for this device. Far from useless. |

| 1262242 | 2012-03-06 20:21:00 | No more difficult than a usual PC, why? Well the Windows 7 I am used to knows how to run things most of the time, but I saw on a website only 3 wifi dongles are listed as working with the RP. So I wonder if I would have a hard time finding a wifi dongle that works, and getting it to work. It would be my introduction to linux. |
