as previously reported by yours truly, the raspberry pi mini usb pc has caused quite a stir in the pc world. the raspberry pi was developed to be a cheap and very small computer all in a usb stick type form factor. this $25 dollar (projected price) linux machine has now released the final pcb layout artwork. the latest specs show the raspberry pi to be the exact size of a credit card and will have two usb ports and a cat5 port. VERY COOL!
i totally want one of these! it was originally targeted towards developing countries as a cheap pc alternative. just plug the raspberry pi into a usb enabled monitor and away you go! read about it here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/344
