If you have not heard of the new Raspberry Pi yet, then you surely will soon enough. The new budget computer has just passed its Conformité Européenne testing, so now it can be stamped with the commonly seen CE mark and sold throughout Europe. A limited number of units were sold before the device was certified, and distribution was halted until the Pi passed the quality control tests. The distributors of the Raspberry Pi also took the time to make sure that the device meets all the regulations enforced by Australian, Canadian, and US supervisory bodies.

It's actually $35 now before any taxes and shipping. Mine is going to cost a little over $45 total delivered to me in the USA. I'm not complaining, just letting people know they missed the $25 price point they hoped for by $10.

The original pricing was $25 for the basic model and $35 for the networked model. Are you saying that the basic model price went up or did you actually order the networked version?

The basic model (Raspberry Pi A) isn't available yet, so the networked model (Raspberry Pi B) is the only one it could be.

The prices have not gone up.

I stand corrected. I did indeed order the B version. Sorry for the confusion.
