Official future - A+ and Conpute Module

[Paul Webster]

From the RPi3 B launch blog post


What about Model A+?

Model A+ continues to be the $20 entry-level Raspberry Pi for the time being. We do expect to produce a Raspberry Pi 3 Model A, with the Model A+ form factor, during 2016.

What about the Compute Module?

We expect to introduce a BCM2837-based Compute Module 3 in the next few months. We’ll be demoing Compute Module 3 at our partners’ launch events this morning.

Not sure of timescales.

Is that a pre-announcement of a new product? Should I post that on El Reg?
