Found some more information here: http://www.appdated.de/2014/07/raspberry-pi-b-neues-modell-wenigen-tagen-verfuegbar/ http://www.appdated.de/2014/07/raspberry-pi-b-neues-modell-w...
So very much a happening.
I too would love a Model C, Ram would be an area and for me USB3 would open up much more as NAS or firewall with the ability to get a respectable 2nd Ethernet over USB3.
I almost purchased one the other day for a project and with the changes, beyond power cleanup I would not be that upset had I purchased it then. Setting up weather station and for the needs still more than powerful as is.
I do wish tablets had an expansion port so could second-life them with GPIO access, would certainly make for a better product. Though if they did a simple cheap tablet with the Raspberry guts and a GPIO expansion port then that would certainly open it up for learning in more area's and if only one of these cheap tablet makers spent a few extra dollars on adding that expansion they would sell very well indeed and have a longer shelf life.

There's a table including USB 3.0 and SATA support at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_single-board_computers#I.2FO_interfaces_and_ports https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_single-board_com... Personally, I have a Cubieboard2 with SATA but only usb 2, it costs a bit more than $50. http://www.cubietruck.com/collections/frontpage/products/cubieboard-1gb-arm-development-board-cortex-a8-mini-pc http://www.cubietruck.com/collections/frontpage/products/cub...

- sspiff 12y agoUSB 3.0 is pretty unlikely in a low-power embedded design though. I don't think I've seen any ARM boards with 3.0, and I don't think many of the low cost, high volume SoC manufacturers have integrated a USB 3.0 controller at this point.
