They've got alpha boards in development, and I'm eagerly waiting for the results.
If you guys haven't seen Raspberry Pi before, it's a cheap, tiny computer that can decode 1080p30 H.264 video at under 1w.
There are 2 models if I remember correctly, the more expensive one costing $35 and the cheaper one costing $25.
It also runs at 1w under full load.
As a fully capable ARM device, there's big potential to put some nice linux distro on there and have a great UMPC or the open-source emulator thingy that Bob could never make.
I'm *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing excited as there are finally updates on the thing, going to buy one as soon as they come out and use it for (at least) a home file server.
Original prototype board, just for fun:
Running Ubuntu 9.04 in the picture above.
