In the market for a new computer? How does 25 bucks fetch ya? Cooked up by game developer David Braben, ‘Raspberry Pi‘ is a PC he’s hoping to market to teaching children the joys (or horrors, depending on which camp you’re in) of programming.
So, what do you get for $25? Well, howsabout a 700MHz ARM11 processor, 128MB of RAM, HDMI Out, and a single USB port, running Ubuntu 9.0.4? Yeah, that’s not much. But it’s pretty impressive once you’re told that this computer IS A USB STICK.
No foolin’. Here, watch Braben wax lyrical about it for a few minutes. No, he doesn’t rap. But as mad fly as this device is, he really doesn’t need to.
What would you do with a $25 PC?
And you were never without internets again

Sign me up! My 5 year old will be a tester (by then 6)– (I think she needs to learn more than to open her profile and go to her preset web page buttons.) If not a tester we want to be one of the firsts to have one. ♥ the idea. It’s green, it takes kids back to learning– not just button clicking. Thank you so much (from a student of the 80’s :)!
