haha indeed... i think we can load an android in it and play around ? haha

according to the official faq, yes it is possible to run Android on it but need some modification in order for Android to run on low memory system. sweat.gif

Offtopic,
I found beagle bone is more cool, more expensive though, is for those are are familiar with arduino, but want more power

http://beagleboard.org/bone

One more thing, not all distro are supported, you need to wait for them to compile for ARM, that you probably already know
*
it has a lot extra ports and on-board NAND storage... but it has slower processor and lesser ram.... sweat.gif

Furthermore, we can purchase 4 units of Raspberry Pis with that price.. 4 is always > 1 right tongue.gif

Want to ask a fundamental question this board can be powered by a microUSB right? Im thinking of purchasing one, then making it to be a lightweight media player for LCD TV (my TV got usb port and hdmi port at the side)., so that I can connect it to LAN, and play those media files tat my internal TV Media player cannot play...

This is definitely a good alternative to WDTV Live-S cuz no external power brick required biggrin.gif

Or even better, can be a media transcoder where it can just feed from the switch / NAS's power via USB Port, and stream to other devices like the PS3, phones etc.
*
Yes, it can draw powers from the microUSB port as long as the source can output >= 700mA for model B and >= 300 mA for model A.


I am wondering how much bandwidth required to stream 720p / 1080p video (with acceptable bit rate)?
As I read on the official faq, the Ethernet port is sharing the same USB hub with the usb ports, in such case the available bandwidth is highly limited.

My colleague jst ordered, E14 has stock in local warehouse in Malaysia! Due to arrive next monday tongue.gifthumbup.gif . At first he doesn't believe the date in the invoice as well and contacted the local sales rep for E14.
RM145 including shipping for B Model.

I don't think bulk order will make the price any cheaper for now, since E14 and RS implemented a MOQ (Max order quantity =.=), of 1 unit per person.

I'll try to get some unboxing pictures biggrin.gif
*
I think it is pre-order only... sweat.gif

anyway... i also ordered sweat.gif

Update, as we all expected, E14 emailed my colleague that his shipment will be delayed as there is no stock in the warehouse (First batch of manufacturing just popped out from the factory of course no stock lah! biggrin.gif).
He was told that the earliest he will get is end of july.

He then went and cancelled his order.
*
but from the official site, it had mentioned that second batch can be dispatched by April and will be the 1 unit per person limitation will be relaxed.

further more i had ordered as well, however i didn't receive any shipment delay notice for E14.

actually it is kind of pointless even if you can get Windows 8 (or any windows) running on it... I could imagine there will be very few applications can be run on Windows 8 (ARM) version, unless you can get the software author to compile ARM compatible binaries.

There is an open source implementation of Windows called ReactOS it is the closest hope (but still highly unpractical) for anyone who wish to run windows on Raspberry Pi.

Wanna ask, Element14 and RS Online, do you need to fill in the interest form first before able to order?

yes... they have limited production... it is sort of pre-payment order.

P/S: I got my Raspberry Pi already.

hmm.gif Thundermatch website got already. But expensive a bit lah unless if we buy separate and from online.
What you want to do with your Pi then?  unsure.gif

thundermatch is hugely overpriced compared with the official price which is 35USD... sweat.gif

imho, not worth getting it if you dont have serious idea what you're going to do with it.

i have the very first batch sitting at a corner for many months already lol

not bad man. did you cut it yourself or you sent it to a fabricator? is it expensive? acrylic i mean. if not then i might just need you to help me fabricate the arcade cabinet biggrin.gif

Thanks! I did it by myself. I have access to a laser-cutting machine. the cost consider kinda affordable. PM me if you want a quotation.

P/S: oh wait, i just misread you wanna make a arcade cabinet. I am not that skilled to build something that complicated, it might take a lot of trial & errors. Also, depending on the size and complexity, it might cost something.

Thx! PM me for a quotation smile.gif

I guess everyone has their own preference. Initially i dont care much about the casing as well. However I come to notice it could easily damaged (water split, vapor, dust) by the environment if you planned to run it 24/7. At least, with a proper case, it has some protection. tongue.gif
