I just found out about this today, but will definitely be getting one. Basically it's a computer running linux for $25-35, has 1080p output, an ethernet connection, and a couple usb connections. It's well worth the $35 to me...

Here it is running XBMC..a media center/entertainment hub.

I've been following this for a little while now. Looking forward to be able to purchase one.

Even if it's solely used as a media center, it's worth $35

Super cool product. Can't wait to get my hands on one. I'd like to try to turn one into a car computer.

Looks like they launched yesterday, but the initial production run is already sold out. Hopefully they'll have some more available soon.

I just found out about these things last week. Anybody using them? Know of cool things they can be used for?

These things are pretty cool, been thinking about picking one up and use it as a temperature controller/logger for a fermentation fridge. You can even make it upload the current temperature to a website, so you never have to leave the couch :p

I've been using one as a media centre for month or so now and it works great. I'll likely pick up another just to play with. Monitoring my brewday from my smartphone sounds like a good project.

That sounds like a grand idea! That in combination with the arduino kegorator app would be deadly! (http://kegbot.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

The Pi could easily replace the tablet and the arduino here. Make the project a lot cheaper.

man i'd love to get a pi for ferm. temp monitoring...

I wish I'd known about Raspberry Pi before I bought my Apple TV. Can't sneak one in here now until I get a job...

I wonder how difficult it would be to make one work as a data logger on my PV power system.

BrewPi uses the raspberry pi for temp and monitoring

Doesn't it also use an audrino? Pi is really more of a pc/interface substitute, it isn't really ideal for IO IMHO.

The guy has a new project that uses raspberry pi instead of arduino

You can get daughter boards and io boards for pi as well

I got one a month or so ago. great little rig for play media. it'll play .MKV video files as well (which my PS3 won't play)
Go on youtube etc on it too.

and i can control everything from my phone as well, for the extra dork points....

You running XBMC?

yep, I'm running this:

i haven't found a video file that it won't play yet.

are you using any sort of remote control to control it?

Personally I'm using Yatse on my phone and love it. My TV also supports HDM-CEC so the arrow buttons and play/stop/pause/etc.. all get forwarded on to the raspmbc and work well enough (pause/play works well, but it's a pain to navigate the UI with no 'back' button.)

My one complaint is that fast-forward/reverse don't really work that well for me.

Grrrroooouuuup buyyy!!!
