Personally I think it may be better to wait a month or two to buy one so things get set up to work better.
Yeah, one of my classmates was saying the same thing. I guess I might wait a little to leave them the time to ship stuff correctly and to fix some bugs.

And somehow you have to plug all of them in the same USB plug. You'll prolly need an USB hub.

I thought there's only one and the second is used for power?

There is a micro USB port for power, but beside that there are two full USB ports :)

Wow, this is really awesome. I had an idea to build a minimalistic PC similar to this running of an sd card or solid state drive. I'm really interested once they start building and shipping ones with cases.

yeah. they're going to cost a bit more, but models with cases (and beginners programming manuals) will be shipped in the future =)

I ordered mine right when it came out, and it should arrive around April 7. I don't know, but maybe there could be a section of this forum, or something like that for people who did get one. Omnimaga has been great for programming calculators and I think that a raspberry pi (sub)forum would be awesome!  ;D

i don't think the pi uses any languages that are particular to it, and there is already an "other" dev area where you could ask any such questions.you should definitely ask there once it arrives, though =)

Well, the Pi runs Linux, and anythhing you can do on Linux, you can do it on the Pi.
