Dear customer,Thanks again for your Raspberry Pi order, reference number #HerberlyGerberlyDerberly. We are busy working with the suppliers who provide components for your Raspberry Pi to ensure you receive your order as quickly as possible.
Since receiving your order, we have been advised that our next batch of approximately 40,000 Raspberry Pi’s will now be arriving during September, with further deliveries expected in October. This delay is due to the very high level of demand on the core Raspberry Pi processor chip. Unfortunately, this means that your order could be delayed by up to 8 weeks, although we are trying to reduce this as much as possible. We have updated the delivery schedule displayed in our FAQ’sand on the Raspberry Pi forum. As soon as we receive confirmation of any improvements from our manufacturers, we will advise you.
Please accept our apologies for this delay and be assured we are doing everything we can to ensure the fastest possible delivery of your Raspberry Pi.

Element 14 look to have these in stock at them moment for $48 + 23 for preloaded SD card and 13 for case.
Don't know if I can be bothered with it at the moment.  Have no idea of Linux and probably better things to do with my time.
Given time I'm sure there will be lots of good software developed for these.

!!!

My internet is capped but...

I've got some questions. Is it 512mb ram, you can tell by looking at it's RAM chip (or the big black square chip which has SAMSUNG written on it), under SAMSUNG that is a bunch of writing, does it say 2G or 4G? 4G == 512mb, 2g = 256mb

Another question

Do you know if the usb has had its fuses removed?

Mine says 4P2G324ED-AGC1
But this pic is from the PI site


And it claims it is 512MB so f#ck knows :)
I can see FU1 and FU2 on the 5V circuit leading to the USB ports so guess they have not been removed.

The fuse wasn't removed, it was changed.

Can't remember where I read the changes though,  on their forum somewhere

Oh right. Installed xbmc, seems to go okay. I'll get another keyboard before trying anything too crazy, hopefully it can be a torrent machine as well.

Anyone else running XBMC on thier Pi? If so have you also installed the Navi-X plugin?

Having a few issues with the performance of Navi-X and was wondering if it was normal :)
