Haven't really been following the Pi but I am interested. May stick one on order as its only £30.

Are the 2 retailers linked on their site the only places selling them? One is ETA 5 weeks (£29) and other is ETA 11 weeks (£26)

Yes Farnell and RS only, I think I got mine from the former, with a free T-Shirt (that coincidentally I'm wearing ATM)

They aren't doing the free t-shirt anymore :(

Well might as well stick one on order, don't need one at the moment but will be something to play with and I suppose I could always stick it in the living room downstairs.

Quick googling around seems that Raspbian and Raspbmc are both getting a lot of community support at the moment.

I'm surprised more companies haven't jumped on this bare ARM chipset selling? I mean its essentially a board out of a phone from 2 years ago (same spec as most 2.3 android phones) but with different outputs.

Surely its not a lot of work to do the same but with a Tegra3 board which would give you a huge increase in power at not much extra cost (as the most expensive thing in these phones/tabs is the screen & battery)... not £30 cheap but not much more.
