Been playing around with them and with the Arduino single-board computers. Interesting announcement from ZD Net:
Raspberry Pi has now sold 30 million tiny single-board computers
Developers and makers around the world have snapped up 30 million units of the Raspberry Pi since the diminutive British-designed computer began selling in February 2012.
Raspberry Pi Foundation co-founder Ebert Upton had far more modest expectations at the outset, predicting sales of just 10,000 units.
But the $35 mini computer — which has grown through four generations and branched out to the smaller form factor Raspberry Pi Zero — has turned into a permanent fixture on the DIY tech scene.
It hits a real sweet-spot in design. Powerful enough to do some real work. Cheap and small enough to be dedicated to a specific task.
