<r>Here's a cool idea. Its a Raspberry Pi case witch includes a 7" touchscreen, USB hub, wifi dongle and battery pack, all for ~$150 including the Pi.<br/> <br/> The parts:<br/> <br/> Screen: $24<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-TFT-.....256ecc72d8">http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-TFT-.....2...

<t>This looks like a really good plan! If you do build it please make a video and/or pictures so others can follow in your footsteps.<br/> <br/> P.S what emulators were you thinking of? I"ve been looking at NES,SNES, Gameboy Advance and Dos. Mainly because they all worked on my 2nd gen iPod touch, w...

Awesome to know, but I figured as much. I managed to get Drupal 7 running off a 17 year old box with a 460MHz processor and 256MB of pre-DDR RAM. And it ran pretty dam well!

It just shows that Drupal is awesome (duh) and so is the Raspberry Pi (also duh) lol

<t>I was thinking, because the Pi is only a very light thing, could i attach 4 little motors (http://www.ultimatetoys.com.au.....13509.html) and get it to drive around my desk.<br/> <br/> I figure id need an acrylic(plastic) chassis, 2 rear motors, 1 motor facing down to use as steering, and 4 wheel...

<t>Awesome!!! This is another great example of a small business(very small) that started because of the Pi. And to you sir, you are awesome, I tip my hat to you <br/> <br/> But down to the case, they both look really cool, but I think the first 1 in white, with maybe a Raspberry Pi sticker on top(fo...

At least 10,000

lol

Ok, not worth trying really. Plus I just had a google around, the dock connector isn"t powered. So there"s no point.

Oh well

Macro, your case is great! I had this idea of some how locking my iPod Touch on the top to use as a VNC screen/mouse/keyboard. That should only add about 1cm of thickness, taking the grand total to 27mm thick.

Do you guys think it would work well? Cause I do

<t>I"m nearly certain this would work but not sure, would it be possible, using a USB to micro USB adapter, power the Pi with an iPhone/iPad/HTC etc..?<br/> <br/> I would think so. And if it does work, my iPhone gets about 6 hours of solid use in one day with one charge, so sharing that with a Pi th...

Ill probably do this aswell, with XBMC, VLC, Chrome/Firefox and a nice Window Manager(like KDE) i could see the Pi being a great dumb-to-smart tv converter

<t>cloudsloth said: <br/> <br/> <br/> Being a network connection will have some latency issues, but this might not matter for what you"re planning on doing. This is certainly the easiest way to get a pi to have a touch screen and keyboard in a package of this size. It won"t have the same snappy feel...

<t>SoloDev said: <br/> <br/> <br/> So more or less, please add on to this list apps that you either know to be "lite" enough for RPi or ones that in theory should be.<br/> <br/> We can Mark the Apps as either :<br/> <br/> [T] = Theoretical Apps, that is, should work, but unconfirmed.<br/> <br/> [C] ...

Thanks, i know VNC is slow, but at THAT close range with a half decent wifi dongle, it should be tolerable. Or you could jailbreak(like i have) and use the iDevice to SSH into the Pi, just a thought.

<t>Ok so my idea for turning the Raspberry Pi into a portable device, is to use a wifi dongle and an old iPod Touch as a VNC client.<br/> <br/> So id plug in the WiFi dongle and create a network for the iPod Touch to connect to on the Pi, then its a matter of simply adding some batteries and possibl...
