Has anybody got one? I'm considering buying one to get Mathematica for £30 rather that £100, and I also think it would be a pretty cool thing to have :P

I do not have one. What exactly is one?
It's a credit card sized computer! I should probably add a link really :P
Sounds alright. Can it do much?
Didn't DD get one of these?
I think he may have.
@Khan It can do most stuff, it's just not too good at really intensive stuff like games.
I was thinking about getting one of these a while back when they were realeased. Isn't it designed to get more kids in to programming or something? Its been a while since I've looked in to it but they are pretty cool :)
Bet it can still run text adventures fine ;)
If I ever finish mine :/ alas revision must go on
I'm pretty sure that it can handle games from at least the ZX and I think someone changed one into a Quake 3 machine, so there's hope there :P. It's probably worth buying one just to get Mathematica for £30 effectively.
I have one!
Its pretty nifty haven't really done much with it yet though
Am planning to teach myself some programming with it and just general computer know how
I am planning to make a pipboy with it
Learning computer bollocks would be useful, although tedious. How much do these fancy mini computer things cost?
Like £30.
I got mine for about £40 but it came with the OS already on an SD card, it also came with a case and all necessary cables
also picked up the dummies guide to raspberry pi for like £15
The pip boy idea sounds like it could turn out incredible, good luck with it :)
yeah, I just need to make the actual pipboy.
If I have time after that I will try to create a pipboy interface or if i cant do that just use programs I can get online
That sounds incredible!
I know it sounds really amazing but in all honesty I'm just putting together parts whilst others did the hard work
Hopefully it's not considered bad form to respond to a topic that's a few months old.
I've been using my RPi to run my media centre. I love that something that runs from a phone charger can replace the full on desktop I used to use - it even decodes X264 natively!
I'm using OpenELEC and the PM3.HD skin. The skin doesn't perform quite as well as the defaults but it's the one I've used the most and I'm comfortable with it so I'll take the hit.
It's fine, it's actually somewhat of a tradition around here to post in old topics. ;D
