Raspberry PI : World cheapest computer is here : USD 35

Raspberry PI

This computer was created so that every student in the world can own a computer, here is the picture :


Here is the hardware spec :
ARM V6 700 MHz CPU
256 MB RAM
Micro SD Card slot
HDMI and TV out port
2 USB and 1 LAN

The processor is one that has power up many android smartphone. It has built in H264 HD video decoding capability.
This computer was meant to be connected to an ordinary TV or HDMI TV.
It has no hard disk but using micro SD card. Actually I am typing this blog using a system on thumb drive also.
It was powered by a micro USB input like most android phone in the market.
You may said the RAM is too small but I have been using Linux with 256 MB RAM before and it run a lot faster then Windows XP on 512 MB RAM and windows vista on 1 GB RAM !
The operating system will be GNU Linux
