I've read the sticky thread at the top of the forum. However, the Raspberry Pi 2 is making some press today:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/02/02 ... i_model_2/
In fact, according to The Register, it is released today. But raspberrypi.org makes no reference to it, that I can see.
Is there truth in the story? A quad-core, 900MHz, 1GB RAM rpi?

Re: Raspberry Pi 2
Now to find someone selling them, and also to await an A2 (there's always something...).
I was planning to upgrade my con reg system to use the Model B+ for the data entry stations, but the Pi 2 is the obvious way to go.

Re: Raspberry Pi 2
Remember, the Register is on UK time, so I think they broke it 4 hours ahead of schedule.
I've already tweeted to Adafruit about carrying them!

If you're still in the Bay Area and like table top games (e.g. D&D), come on down to DunDraCon over President's Day Weekend.BTW quite the small world. I grew up in Vacaville.

Re: Raspberry Pi 2
You guys want the raspberry pi 2
I am waiting to get the raspberry pi 3d 


By thinking like an engineer you can create a raspberry pi.
Michael Jackson enthusiast.
I got the PI model B, B+ and PI 2 model B.
When will I get the A? I don't know.

Good question, actually, since there are Broadcom markings on large package on the board, meaning that it isn't PoP, as it is for the other models.

Re: Raspberry Pi 2
SpazzTechTom appears to have the only link I can find of someone selling the thing - all the other Australian resellers are still touting the Model B+ (one of them at about a 33% discount, for two days only - cheeky!)
Re: Raspberry Pi 2
I feel like the only additional thing I'd like is a gigabit ethernet port (or two). Maybe the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+...

Re: Raspberry Pi 2
On the other hand, I don't see a need for GbE, but I'd sure like a native SATA connector...or later development. However, for my uses, the Pi2 has everything it needs.ktb wrote:I feel like the only additional thing I'd like is a gigabit ethernet port (or two). Maybe the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+...

Agreed, either SATA or USB3 would make these an almost serious desktop replacement.W. H. Heydt wrote:On the other hand, I don't see a need for GbE, but I'd sure like a native SATA connector...or later development. However, for my uses, the Pi2 has everything it needs.

Re: Raspberry Pi 2
I think it would take a bit more than *that* to be a "serious desktop replacement". To do so I'd want a quad-core A-57, and at least 2 SATA ports. But the Pi2 should be pretty good for a fair amount of stuff and pretty wonderful for some...including educational uses.tom.k.cook wrote:Agreed, either SATA or USB3 would make these an almost serious desktop replacement.W.

*And* as noted by another poster...two years earlier than expected, plus the same price as a B/B+. Keeping the price the same is going to strain quite a few other boards that have been proclaimed as "Pi killers" or similar rhetoric.
