Game developer David Braben creates a USB stick PC for $25 – Video Games Reviews, Cheats | Geek.com
A computer running Linux, about the size of a USB stick, for $25... http://www.geek.com/articles/games/game-developer-david-braben-creates-a-usb... See also... http://www.raspberrypi.org/ What seems to be missing from the "provisional" spec is some sort of network interface. Curious, since the software includes Iceweasel (a Firefox clone/fork). Anyway, it may be about a year before we see these in production, so a few things can/will change before then. -- Gilbert E.

The nic is provided by a USB device. The picture has a dlink 10/100 USB device (the gray and blue trimmed box). Very interested in this idea as a cheap sensor platform. Adding a wireless phi would probably double the cost unless they get a really good deal on volume. -- Sean (mobile) On 2011-05-06, at 12:22 PM, "Gilbert E.
