Raspberry Pi: the $25 computer

Read the whole story

Do we need computers strapped to us all the time?
Go out and enjoy the beauty of the world and leave the gadgets behind.

Flippen awesome with two thumb-drives up!

You've totally missed the point, guest.

Cool, faster than Pentium II on the size of a thumb.

Needs some form of networking I think. Wifi maybe?

Good luck posting a comment like this on a technology website.

WOW, that's pretty cool. @ElShotte, I'm pretty sure as they grow on this product type that it will have some sorta wifi. Go technology!

The point is to give a cheap computer to children's so they "get inspired" while doing simple stuff on schools, they dont need the "Wifis" so they get distracted web browsing or other related stuff.

Yeah Cota I hear ya. That's why they are developing it, but you can see it going further after it's initial purpose.

This is a step in the right direction! Let's just hope a big company doesn't buy them out and startselling them for $299 *caugh* apple.

Actually he says right in the video that it would allow kids to get onto twitter or facebook...

Only $299 for an Apple computer!? You lie!

this is incredible! i really wish him all the best, this stuff needs more attention (and so does elite 3, mr. braben).

This is the kind of technology with a simple idea that we should look forward to, instead of big corporations who just throw us some overpriced shiny stuff with features that we may never need and whose purpose is just to impress other people.

I mean come on...I woke up one morning just to find out Google News has 5+ articles about Apple releasing a white version of iphone/ipad. WOW!

It is meant as a teaching tool for kids to learn about computers. It is not meant as an everyday computer. The idea is it is simple enough that you can learn what is going on in the computer.

Sweet.The smaller the better.I really hope this sees the light of day.

the concept and idea the guy has is fantastic, he should get all the help he needs

also..1st guest..bet you didnt even watch the link, watch it then see how silly your comment was

I really hope I can get a wireless keyboard to work with that...

Did U NOT read the article?! Do you understand the point of it? For every thing there is a season. They will play in the sunshine and they wiill learn. Thumb drive--awesome... Linux... Free!! 2x(awesome). a computer priced for the poor--that is designed to encourage them to program. What is WRONG with you? What could one do with this in developing countries?!

Some people. :-(
