Price remains at $35 (Model B) and $25 (Model A).

~10,000 Model B's available immediately to buy.

The Model A can also be pre-ordered and now has the same RAM as the Model B: 256MB.

Farnell/element 14 and RS Electronics will produce and sell the boards under license and accept pre-orders after the initial batch is sold-out.

This is so production can scale immediately to much higher numbers.

RaspberryPi site is OK (switched to static) but the providers are down as of now. Must be thousands of people!
Hmm, even Farnell and RS seem to be struggling.
