Yeah, if I am in San Diego I have the option of order and pick-up without paying shipping and handling.

I do like the idea (at the link) of putting the low-power guts into an old laptop.
Ha ha, I think it was made for small cats.

Hi
I got a PI on order. I included a keyboard/mouse, powerpack, SD memory and a case.
I plan on using a television.

Of course. The web site said that they were back ordered for months. Don't hold your breath on a prompt response however.

Is there a web site that I can download the software package at? I may have missed it.

Apologies - been away. Start here

Raspberry Pi | An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!

and follow the downloads link at the top for SD card images. These are the ones the site suggests, there may be others.

EDIT - You might want to confirm your new one will be the upgraded 512MB version.

They said it was going to be a few months to get it. So I assume I will get the new model whether it be 512k or bigger. Thanks

Hello -

MK802 Android 4.0 Mini PC hands-on impressions -- Engadget
Quote:
There must be something in the water in in hardware-designer land. Small is en vogue, it seems, and to say we've been intrigued about this latest twist on diminutive form factors would be an understatement. So far, Android has largely (though not exclusively) kept itself firmly in the palms of our hands. But, increasingly it is popping up in places we never even thought about. For the uninitiated, that thing above -- the Chinese-made MK802 -- is a complete "mini PC" that's about the size of a USB flash drive or card reader. It has a 1.5GHz Allwinner processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of onboard flash storage. You can get at these internals via two USB ports (which can also power the device,) and pump the result out to a display via HDMI. If that 4GB of memory isn't enough, you can expand it via a microSD slot. All good and well, but what would you do with such a thing? Plenty is the answer. This not only makes any HDMI display a PC, it also ushers in a new type of portability. Bring your Netflix over to a friend's house without needing your phone, or never worry about using public PCs again. All of these niche uses give the MK802, and its kind, lots of potential. But what is it like in real life? Shimmy past the break to find out.
I can see this gizmo as wearable :

- USB power supply in one pocket
- bluetooth mouse
- video glasses with HDMI input.
