Got mine when they were originally introduced. Pre-paid, and waited several months for final delivery. Was it worth it? Don't know yet.

I've just ordered a 512Mb version, I want to use my old 256mb one as a file server.

I might sell mine - or give it away. I may need the money for another project.

They are under continuous production now. RS are manufacturing in China, Farnell/Element14 are manufacturing in the UK, the lead time is about 3 weeks at the moment. But some people on the Pi forums are claiming that they are only waiting a week!

The only unit currently in production is the 512Mb model B (revision 2, which has an improved board layout, including a power back feed via a powered USB hub!).

I'm currently using mine to learn OpenVG (like OpenGL but for 2D graphics).

I just got my 512mb version today...

I have updated the Raspbian, overclocked to 800mhz and split the memory 128/374...

So far I'm not very impressed with this device at all...

Very slow and unresponsive overall.

It misses mouse clicks and when your are dragging or resizing windows it seems to think you released the mouse button when you did not.

like using an Amiga mouse with a worn out button...

Hopefully RiscOS is more interesting...

Also, why could they not mount the USB and Ethernet flush with each other?

I guess you get what you pay for :/

update:
adding usphid.mousepoll=8 to the command.txt fixes the mouse

I also have a problem with the keyboard where keys don't respond or stick and repeat and the fix for that seems to turn my USB hub off and back on then the KB seems ok. Not found a better fix for that. I have to do that every time I boot it seems...

I think the Raspberry PI was designed to make 8-bit computers look good

Crazy - my first gen with 256MB and no OC or ram fiddling seems to work just fine.

It was sloness issues before I OC or started fiddling with the RAM. The image by default only saw 256 megs of ram.

It is more responsive now with the mouse fix. The CPU was maxing out with any movement of the mouse.

The USB support just seems really poor. I have now tried it with 3 different KB with different results.

Cosair - keys misfire or stick and repeat. Totally unusable.

Logitech- same as Cosair but if you turn of and on the usb hub, the KB starts working fine most of the time.

Belkin - works perfectly. I just don't like the feel of the KB, its really cheapo.

Also, I find it really sad that none of the browsers from the image are capable enough to order the video codecs from www.raspberrypi.com.

@Bbond

You seem to have some odd USB issues there... Issues similar to what I had with the pre-Raspbian distribution.

Make sure you have run "apt-get update" followed with "apt-get upgrade", which will do a system update.

Also why are you only running 800Mhz turbo? Try at the top setting first and only drop down if you suffer any stability issues.

bbond007: I think you have something wrong somewhere. My 256Mb Pi (and those of friends) all work fine with whatever keyboard/mouse we happen to have spare. It definitely sounds like something isn't right there ...

Thinking about it, I suspect that bbond007 has a power supply issue... The Raspi model B needs at least 700mA to function and some keyboards/mice will try and pull much more that that.

I'm using a 1.2A (IIRC) supply, and have has no USB issues at all.
