Put it in a (wooden-)laptop skeleton and you've got a computer for everyone who doesn't encode videos|play video games much.<div>I mean let's face it, I don't think a lot of people would need horsepowered computers for most uses…</div>
<div>And I really like the idea of a wooden case. And fully open source design!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 31 July 2011 16:20, ya knygar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:knygar@gmail.com">knygar@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>interesting article,<br>
"For as it turns out the chip that powers the Raspberry Pi computer -<br>
a BCM 2835 - was born out of the BCM 2722. Which, as you will be<br>
aware, was the chip that powered the first-ever video iPod."<br>
<br>
"It would be nice if through the Raspberry Pi the circle was completed<br>
and the iPod's granddaughter inspired the iPod of the future. " :)<br>
<br>
<br>
i believe - it would be the first drop into mass market,<br>
after that many of existing but frozen projects would<br>
re-appear,<br>
so far the most useful and "real" among these wich got into real<br>
production and on market,<br>
among i'v seen was -<br>

Amazing project by style, software and inspiration, not so - by price.<br>
<br>
Another good use for these 25$ machines, besides FreedomBox is in a<br>
portable child PC's,<br>
maybe like a portable personal boxes for expensive school monitors,<br>
700MHz ARM11 processor, 128MB RAM, OpenGL ES 2.0<br>
and 1080p output,<br>
it's just great.<br>
