<t>From what I can see Amazon's markup is 15% plus a monthly fee. That would put the $35 Pi to over $40 before shipping and taxes are added.<br/> <br/> The Pi I've ordered from Farnell for just under £30 would be more like £34 from Amazon - and probably would never exist. What would happen is that...
<t>AIUI it is or will be possible to repartition the SD card to use the additional space.<br/> <br/> I've also seen something on the Seneca Fedora wiki that says there's going to be a special program that formats the SD card to it's full size and copies the distribution to it.<br/> <br/> Fast moving...
<t>It's been said what components are missing. I very much doubt that it will be possible to buy then in small quantities for the price difference. One or two people might be able to scrounge the bits but that's all.<br/> <br/> And it might be worth while making a different board for the As, with no...
<t>I've been toying with selling transparent cases - Totally transparent, you can't even tell it's there! Only $5.00!!!<br/> <br/> Just send me your credit card details and the supplier and order number and I'll work with them to have it installed before you get it!<br/> <br/> Even better than the ...
<t>I've had four emails from Farnell:<br/> <br/> "Welcome to Farnell" from the enquiries email address.<br/> <br/> "Your Farnell Order Acknowledgement -" from sales saying "When stock is allocated to your order, we will send you a full order confirmation including prices, availability and expected d...
I don't think that Farnell are ripping me off in the UK. They are charging me just under £30 and by the time you add 20% VAT it looks as if they are charging about £2.50 for shipping. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
<t>In reply to the "Why not Maplin?" question my guess is that retail shops would have demanded a much bigger margin and the board could not have been sold at the specified price.<br/> <br/> I expect that what we will see in retail stores in a few months will be kits - maybe a cased Pi, keyboard and...
<t>It's worth searching this forum and the wiki for information about SD cards.<br/> <br/> Current thinking is that huge and/or class 10 cards may have problems but nobody is going to know for sure until people have tried it.<br/> <br/> I'm starting with 4GB Sandisk class 4 and 6 initially.<br/> <br...
<t>Never got past the "express an interest" page with RS but somebody posted the Farnell part number on Twitter and I managed to get in and order one about lunchtime.<br/> <br/> What was funny was that once I had pressed the "buy it" button time-outs and resets didn't happen. It may have taken 5 mi...
My background is Windows where it isn't usual to load sources and compile it yourself.
Wouldn't the Pi compatible applications be identified by having been compiled for the Pi? If they haven't they aren't in the list - or in in a different way?
