[plug] 10k Raspberry Pi Units Available In December

[Alexander Hartner]

I few weeks ago I read some posts regarding Raspberry Pi. Today on slashdot they is an article that 10K units will be available in December.
An anonymous reader writes
"A tweet appeared from Raspberry Pi stating the launch of the $25 wasn't happening in November as expected. So I decided to investigate further and contacted Raspberry Pi to see what was going on. Eben Upton was kind enough to email me back and give us some good and bad news. The bad news is, we aren't getting the $25 PC this month as expected. But that's where the bad news ends as it is still arriving in 2011 for some people. Eben confirmed that an order has been placed for 10,000 units, but they won't arrive until the end of November. That means we will see Raspberry Pi go up for sale in December, but it won't be a typical 'get as many out the door as you can' launch. Those first 10k are earmarked for programmers as software is desperately required before a full consumer launch."
Update: Apparently some of the details about the production of units and who can get one from the first batch have changed. Raspberry Pi has updated their front page with the latest information.
