The
Raspberry Pi computer was released yesterday. About the size of a credit card, it's a fully programmable computer on a Linux platform, which connects to any television (for a monitor), yet is strong enough to power 3D graphics and Blu-tooth video playback. 256 MB Ram, with ethernet and 2 USB ports and an SDI slot. Of course it's has WIFI connectivity.
Specs and pre-order form are here.

Thirty Five dollars. Pick up an $8
4 gig thumb drive from Target and you're set. Initially available in the UK only, first day orders brought the retailers web sites to their knees. I've ordered mine, with delivery scheduled for early May.
Created by The Raspberry foundation, those wonderful folks working on the one laptop per child project. May eventually give the XBOX a run for its money

Happy birthday Dr. Seuss
Computer geeks may be amused to learn my $35 fully featured computer arrived midst the chaos of our home yesterday. It's a bit smaller than a pack of Chesterfield Regulars. The details may be found here.
