The "little brother" of the Raspberry Pi micro-PC family, the Model A, is now available in Europe-- ideal for customers wanting the credit card-sized computer at an even lower price.
Just like its popular Model B brother, the Model A board carries a 700MHz ARM-based Broadcom CPU, but has just 1 USB port, 256GB of RAM and lacks an ethernet connector. It also cheaper ($25, down from $35) and uses even less power than the Model B.
"It’s what we said we’d do all along, and we can’t wait to see what you do with it," Raspberry Pi Foundation community manager Liz Upton says.
Model B Pi sales total 1 million since launch in February 2012. The bare-bones PC found use in a wide variety of projects-- one even got to reach an altitude of 40km attached to a high-altitude ballooon! That, or simply install XBMC on one for a cheap-as-chips HTPC solution...
