I think the pi will have some problems being successful with it's target market (kids who want to learn to code) if it's web browsing experience is dog slow. Does anybody know if it is being actively used in education anywhere or are the users mostly geeks using it to run an apache server from their RC helicopters?

The education stuff will hit in September when the new term starts. Right now everyone is in the process of creating materials to teach, getting the units out there and making sure teachers have the knowledge they need to get started. Raspbian has made the browsing experience much better, but for a lot of teaching activities, making JS heavy sites work is not key.

I dunno. Perhaps it hits just that sweet spot where Stackoverflow loads just fine but Youtube is unbearably slow?
