Raspberry Pi

No, because people who buy this contraption are already either Linux g33ks or the cheapest people on the Planet or both.

HTH

Confusion over how much testing Raspberry Pi computers need has caused fresh delivery delays.

UK suppliers of the Raspberry Pi machines are only willing to send out the gadgets once they have undergone electromagnetic testing.

Before now Raspberry Pi's creators believed it did not need these checks because it was a "development device".

Enough already! Just ship me my new toy.

That's what happens when you get Farnell and RS involved.

Wooohoooo, an email from Farnell Uk

Dear Chef,

Great news!

You can now order your Raspberry Pi by clicking on the link below. Thanks for staying patient with us.

The wait for Pi is (nearly) over

The Pi began its journey as a crowdsourced community project. Given the volumes involved and the demographic mix of likely users, the development board exemption on compliance testing is not applicable. As a result, even the first uncased developer units of Raspberry Pi will require a CE (compliance tested) mark prior to distribution in the EU.

We're supporting the Raspberry Pi Foundation in doing everything possible to bring the Pi to the world as quickly as possible, and minimise any further delay.

At this time orders will continue to be kept to one per person, to ensure the products get into the right hands.
