    Default Raspberry Pi, Did you get a Slice?

    OK so being in IT (sort of) I about lost all interest in newer technologies until this was developed;
    Attachment 28375
    http://www.raspberrypi.org

    So I ordered one with some extra breadboards, couple lcd screens and a couple daughter boards. I just got the os (Weezy) flashed to the SD card last night and will be picking up a cheap monitor on my way home tonight. I have tomorrow and this weekend off so I will be dorking it up in good fashion. From what I have been finding on the net it looks to be a good tinkering device to build into any number of projects.

    Anyone else check these out yet?

    Same basic idea, competing brand. I think ras pi is a little more refined.

    Similar concept, but the pi has an HDMI output and h.264 capable decoder hardware, so it's aimed at embedded video applications like being a media server, while arduino is just a modern and sleek take on a microcontroller.
