True, but just get your hands on one. Start prototyping and then prepare for the actual mass-production.<br><br>The thing is that the RasPi foundation is licensing the design to other vendors that (will) produce the device themselves.<br>
Currently everything is still just in a start-up phase. The hype is a bit overblown I guess, but I think it's still a device to look out for.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 18, 2012 at 5:35 PM, Charles Henry <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:czhenry@gmail.com" target="_blank">czhenry@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>The biggest problem for the near future is availability. One vendor<br>
sent an email to say the R-Pi would be shipping soon! and by "soon!"<br>
it meant 2 months away.<br>
<br>
At this point, if you want 100 of them, that's about 1% of their<br>
supply, and I'd expect they're swamped with orders for months to come.<br>
It's going to be hard to get very many of them.<br>
<br>
My guess: It should work well for the price and specs as long as you<br>
can wait 6 or so months.<br>
