Has the Pi jumped the shark now that it has been written up on CNN? :-)

Slices of Raspberry Pi: Hacking the world's cheapest computer

  It may not be the prettiest, but the world's smallest, cheapest
  personal computer is inspiring a wave of delightful DIY innovation
  among tech hobbyists across the planet.

  With a price tag of just $25, the unassuming Raspberry Pi is an
  easily-programmable, open-source single board computer, about the size
  of a credit card, whose cost, size and low power requirements make it
  ideally suited for backyard inventors.

  Earlier this year a cheaper $25 Raspberry Pi model A went on sale in
  Europe, and now it's kinda/sorta available in the US.

  ...the cheaper model has just 256MB of RAM, a single USB 2.0 port, and
  no Ethernet jack.

  Allied Electronics started taking orders for the Model A this weekend,
  and quickly sold out. Since supply is limited, there's currently no
  option to pre-order or backorder.
