Raspberry Pi launched. RS & Farnell to manufacture under license.
Full details at http://raspberrypi.org/
Price remains at $35 (Model B) and $25 (Model A).
~10,000 Model B's available immediately to buy.
The Model A can also be pre-ordered and now has the same RAM as the Model B: 256MB.
Farnell/element 14 and RS Electronics will produce and sell the boards under license and accept pre-orders after the initial batch is sold-out.
This is so production can scale immediately to much higher numbers.

http://rswww.com Real time news from their twitter account: http://twitter.com/#!/raspberry_pi RaspberryPi site is OK (switched to static) but the providers are down as of now. Must be thousands of people! Hmm, even Farnell and RS seem to be struggling.
