If you are in the US, be sure to check out www.newark.com. I tried ordering through Allied and it was a disaster. After 6 months of delays they eventually screwed up my shipment and said I'd have to resubmit an order and wait in the back of the line. I didn't realize newark.com (a subsidiary/partner of element14) sold them in the US.
Avoid shopping at Amazon (it's a ripoff by someone who is hoarding units).
It'd be great if RPi could find a way to expand production. At the very least, being more upfront about the delays in production and who will actually get units, would be a big help.
- freehunter 14y agoI waited nine months to get mine, and I ordered two days after they were released. Now that I have the board, my attention has been drawn back to Arduino in the meantime and my Pi is just a general purpose computer I put in the garage to view project plans for woodworking or repairing my truck and occasionally SSHing into to test the occasional code to make sure it's ARM compatible. I still have the plans for all the Pi projects I was planning, but interest has worn off and the parts have been repurposed for things where a couple Arduino boards can do the same work one Pi was going to do.
