Don't know if anyone noticed, but the model 2 of rbpi was released just the other day. The new model is the same as the old, but now the cpu is a quad core at 900mhz (A7 core) and there is 1gb of RAM to play with. Best of all, it's still 35 bucks. No idea if they are still in stock on element14, but I ordered one and will update once it arrives.
