Poll: How many Raspberry Pi boards do you plan to buy?
If the amazing folks from Raspberry Pi[1] can produce a sufficient number of boards, I believe they'll be used in all kinds of revolutionary (or, better yet, just plain fun) stuff.
Recently, however, there's been comments saying they won't be able to pull that over [2].
Considering the fact that the prototypes were selling for $2000+[3], I am a little worried that I won't be able to put my hands in a board from the first batch, unless I'm quick.
So, to estimate the demand they'll have, I ask: How many Raspberry Pi boards do you plan to buy?
PS: I have no association with the guys from Raspberry Pi (I'm just a curious guy who wants to get one ASAP).

- bockris 15y agoOnly buying 1 to start, it's strictly a toy at a great price. Depending on the utility, I might buy more later. If it came with wifi at a similar price point, I would buy 5 right off the bat.
- reginaldo 15y agoI'm buying 3 as soon as they're out. I was going to buy only one, but again the price and the temptation to make them talk to each other are more than enough reasons for me to buy 3.
