Raspberry PI - why I want one!

The huge hype of the latest tech gadget - the Raspberry PI hit the market today. Running on linux this little beasty aims to be used by schools and pc enthusiasts alike.
The little computer could be adapted to enhance telescope control, perhaps even a CCD camera. In any case its worth getting hold of one to try it out....assuming stocks are replenished sometime soon.
