Raspberry Pi - a 25$ computer-on-a-card

It is always a great moment to discover that technological promises of the past are delivered. I still remember the excitement a few years ago when a laptop for everychild initiative was launched. I guess we all understand the merits of providing cheap computers to the developing areas of the world (even though some can talk quite persuasively about other priorities),  and therefore was very glad to read about the coming of age of Raspberry Pi, a computer-on-a-card for 25$. You can read more about it here, about the entrepreneurs here, and you can get in line to buy it here.

[first-site credit: I first read about this on Techdirt, the great Law&technology blog, which had an interesting political angle on this lovely gadget]
