Raspberry PI - Available to buy today. well, actually no.

1 points by dchristiansen 14y ago ↗ HN

http://www.raspberrypi.org/ was updated early this morning to tell the world that today you can get your very own slice of RaspberryPI.

"The Raspberry Pi is available at either Premier Farnell or RS Components. Search for Raspberry Pi, and then follow the normal shopping and checkout process."

This is fantastic and exciting news, until you go to RS Components and find that you can't - and have to fill out another 'Let me know' customer contact form.

Speaking with a RS Components customer service representative I am told that they are aware of today's announcement but have not been supplied with any stock as yet and do not have any eta. on it's delivery.

So I guess all there is to do now is fill out a form - and wait patiently :)

Update: Unfortunately the second supplier - http://farnell.com/ - appears to be suffering from an unintentional DOS attack from PI lovers.

RasberryPI have updated their site to state - "Note: both websites are currently experiencing heavy load, and international customers may find that Raspberry Pi is not available yet in their territory. Please be patient, and consider checking back in a few hours' time..."
