Raspberry pi anticipation thread
 

I've ordered a raspberry pi at 29/02/2012 11:45 as the farnell export order status says and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

They have started shipping the first batch but someone said that this is just orders from the first one and a half minute.

Did you order one? When? From which distributor? do you have any more info for the arrival? How much was the shipping? (My order says TBA)

A couple of my my friends have them also on order. - I'll post a reply once they start getting them. :)

You forgot the "yes, but i have one already" option ;)

Re: Raspberry pi anticipation thread
 

And the "waiting for being able to order it from the Qt on Pi program" option :)

But yeah. Really looking forward to hacking with it.

stskeeps I officially hate you :)

I was finally invited to place an order on April 1st, after managing to get to the 'register your interest' mail form on the launch day.

Im still eagerly awaiting a delivery date.

I think my first test will be using it as a media center for my TV in the living room.

Still waiting for my invitation :( I registered within the first hour of them going on the RS site, would have been sooner but we all know how busy the site was and the confusion with them going down the register your interest route.

Now, who is going to rig two of them in a case, connect a touch screen and 3G dongle and slap Mer on it?

Re: Raspberry pi anticipation thread
 

I was thinking of bothering a friend of mine who runs a 3D printing company to print a casing for it. No plans for touch scree or 3G but Mer is the first thing my Pi is going to boot :)

There's another option missing:
I considered buying one but something stopped me doing it.

I would have ordered model B if I could run it entirely on free software. But the fact that I still need proprietary blobs to get the graphics working stopped me from doing it.
