Congrats! Wish I could see it in person.

Wow!

Worth a trip to Cambridge!

BTW I hope the keyboard in the kit is a UK one?

I'd love to check it out but no time today!

Probably! The engineer who did the keyboards has been quite vocal about the different keyboard layouts over the last year, well for vocal read sweary!

Just spotted the YouTube video of the store in Cambridge. Wishing you HUGE success folks.

Congratulations.

Excellent.
Do you also organize factory tours?

Never been to Cambridge in my life, but planning a short holiday later this year, so watch out for a doddery old pensioner sometime around June or September.

I wsh all every success with this new venture

Hey hey! I was wondering when something like this would happen... I am guessing it is run by volunteers due to the fact its only open on Thursday? Also what are the prices like? Same as online?

"Computer firm", honestly I don't think of Raspberry Pi as a computer firm. "Computer firm" to me seems like something huge, the only thing I can think of huge regarding Raspberry Pi is the number of products sold.

Probably a misinterpretation of the BBC's "The store opens in Cambridge's Grand Arcade shopping centre on Thursday".

That's an "open from Thursday (today)", rather than "only open on Thursdays".

Seriously? You think the only thing the RPF does is produce a few computers? Maybe you should check out some of the online resources they provide, the global Code Clubs and all the other Pi(e)s they have a finger in

Not even that.. That's what RPT does...

Wish I can go there.....

Is it true, as one review claims, that the store is debit and credit card only, won't accept cash ?

Yes.

What payment methods do you accept?
The Raspberry Pi Store is cashless. We accept all major debit and credit cards.

Is the shop run by Raspberry Pi Trading or Raspberry Pi Foundation.

It would be good to know what budget this is coming out of and whether or not it is actually viable financially.

How many goods does one need to sell to break even ??


Minor point is it a Raspberry Pi PoS ??

I'd love to go...but it's kind of hard for me to get to Cambridge, MA, let alone Cambridge, UK.

Being able to order the Pi-colored mouse would be nice, though. I'd want a keyboard as well...but it wouldn't be at all useful for me...except (perhaps) when doing an initial Pi setup (ie. until I get the K/B set to what I use...which can be done without running into the differences).

Yes, that is true, what I meant was, the contrast between "Computer firm" and the size of a Raspberry Pi. I did not explain myself very well

Do you mean Cambridge, US and Cambridge, Cambs?
