[dba-Tech] RasberryPi - A tiny computer for $25

I don't know if this is anything you lot might be interested in, but I can't
wait to get my mitts on one of these (or a few). For sure a low cost, it's
pretty powerful and could easily be used for your own custom media center or
a personal server that runs on 1W at full load.

There's got to be many other creative ways to use this little device as
well.

Our first product is about the size of a credit card, and is designed to
plug into a TV or be combined with a touch screen for a low cost tablet. The
expected price is $25 for a fully-configured system.
