I think you read it wrong: they aren't shipping to Brazil at all!

There is a Farnell subsidiary here, and this is the only channel to buy the device here, for "mere" US$90!

probably due to import taxes... I really don't understand what is going anyway with RPi, I mean it is assembled in China but it can be only exported to other countries via.. UK..

and btw, if I had to pay 90$ I would prefer to pay a little more and buy the Beagleboard XM that that shιt.
 
I'm sure that when they finally start getting some out of the door that an Amibayer will pop one in a jiffy bag and send it on its way to Brazil :thumbsup:

I want them too because it is so small, cute and you can be able to Program them! :p:thumbsup:
 
Indeed! Theyre also a piece of nerd history! Plus so many other uses too! I think of them as pocket pentium III PCs :D


Mines going in a miniature PC tower or maybe something even cuter! xD WAAAANT!
 
I wonder if I could get it in the back of this...

End of May, I think my last email from Farnell said.

Christ, I can't wait... I've got an abundance of SD cards ready and waiting, a couple of project boxes just gagging to be filled with Pi, and various mains and car fag lighter 5V PSUs. Even got a small 12V powered LCD screen lined up so I can Pi in the car.

I can just see it now, getting pulled over by the coppers..

"Weaving around a bit on the road I see sir."

"Sorry about that orifice, I was just getting to the tricky bit on Eugenes Lair.."
 
i just had this

Great progress this week on moving towards deliveries and mass production…

  • Together with the Raspberry Pi Foundation we’ve successfully completed compliance testing and certification work for CE, FCC and C-Tick.
  • This means we are now starting to ship our share of the first 2000 boards that arrived in the UK last week.
  • We have opened our dedicated Raspberry Pi Store to those lucky people who were first in the registration queue to place their orders.
  • Now that the Raspberry Pi boards are compliance certified we have triggered our manufacturing processes to move into volume production.
  • As new batches of Pi’s become available over the coming weeks we’ll be inviting the next in-line into the Raspberry Pi Store to place their orders.
  • The next batch is already in production so we’re expecting more deliveries shortly and we’ll continue to keep you updated via our regular email and online FAQs.
And while we’ve been compliance-testing the boards, a number of engineers have been road-testing the product! You can see some first reviews of the Raspberry Pi at DesignSpark.com including Raspberry Pi and Custard. As the anticipation continues to build, our Pi Perspectives are getting lots of attention too – these are the views and opinions of leading academics and scientists across industry and education.
With any luck, by the time you read your next weekly update, the first Raspberry Pi’s will be out in the world. Thanks for your continued patience and please rest assured that your Pi will be on its way as soon as we can bake it!

oh yeah.. I received three email from them (so far....) one wrote "end of April" the next one "early week of May" the third "week commencing 21/05/2012" I am sorry to say that the whole procedure looks like they operate a grocery.... yeah I know problems with the ETH connector, CE certification, etc etc etc... I think this project could be better organized.
