Got to be worth a punt for something to dabble with. Might wait until the hysteria is over (and the bugs fixed). ::)

I quite fancy one as a car music player. Get it to drive a MID / CID and hook it up to the steering wheel controls, load it up with music... :y

.. and umpteen other things, of course.. If only I had the time. ::)

Likes of farnell took orders, although these have been delayed due to socket problem. Reckon next batch may be a few weeks.

Tempted to get one. Or two.

Also very tempted - I love messing with stuff like this, and there are so many neat projects it could be used for.. home automation, neat digital dashboard in the kit car, car audio, home theatre (it'll run XBMC and render 1080p HD videos which is pretty damned impressive for £25!)

Farnell & RS are taking orders which they will fulfill in sequence. I was told 2 weeks ago that my order should be dispatched by the end of March.

They are limiting orders to one per customer.
