Re: Next version of the Pi?

Any thoughts on the naming convention?

Blueberry Pi?

Raspberry Tart?

At last - one that makes sense! 10 + 1 = 11!

Re: SD downloading

mkopack has got it right.  Just to add - once you've got the OS on your SD card, the Pi simply runs off that - there's no dowloading onto the device or anything like that.

Re: Anyone know of a good android app for browsing the RPi forumn?

I find myself addicted to RPi, and want to be able to check the forums for any new interesting posts on the go.  I can't see any sign of a dedicated RPi app - not sure if there are any generic apps out there that can be pointed to a existing forum server?

Re: Why not MicroSD?

<t>As a purely theoretical discussion, not meaning to question the design of the RPi in any way, is there a reason standard SD was used rather than MicroSD?  Price doesn't seem to differ much these days (not in sub-16GB at least), and I would think that there would be a significant amount of space s...
