True - davilla - 2012-01-07 Humm, I might be wrong given new information, while the hardware CAN decode all major formats, licensing will determine which formats are enabled. If anyone needs further info on this point, I suggest contacting the Raspberry Pi contacts as this falls outside of any xbmc port to this platform. - darkscout - 2012-01-08 Hurray for software patents! - macf1an - 2012-01-09 the Pi would be so DOA if this had any form of networking... Edit: what's up with those things - they're popping like mushshrooms .. (android port of XBMC is not out of the question right? and they do mention ubuntu..) I wonder who will meet the lowest of the variable prices - so far the Pi is the most optimistic .. and most rumoured .. I guess this will give them the advantage in terms of initial quantity - Robotica - 2012-01-11 Raspberrypi is being produced as of today: http://www.raspberrypi.org/ macf1an Wrote:I wonder who will meet the lowest of the variable prices - so far the Pi is the most optimistic .. and most rumoured ..

If you look further down the page you posted you see a wireless network adapter. - Jimmer - 2012-01-11 Well, since the goal of the R-Pi is primarily educational and secondarily for the hobbyist/hacker rather than as a dedicated media player, I'm not sure that the linked media player will make the Pi DOA (whether it boasts wi-fi, or not)..... the moboplay will just be another media player in an already crowded market whereas the r-pi will run xbmc - which is awesome - plus you'll also be able to automate your chicken coup with it.... and teach your kids some Python ...personally, I'll be buying one, whether or not xbmc flies on it - Atomic Zombie - 2012-01-12 i'm finding loads of places where i think "hmm, a raspi would be awesome there" around the house and even at work, can't wait until it comes out! - jhsrennie - 2012-01-12 At $35 for the B model I'll buy one purely out of curiousity - and of course to impress my geek friends :-) JR - davilla - 2012-01-12 I'd buy one... oh wait. I have one - Atomic Zombie - 2012-01-12 davilla Wrote:I'd buy one... oh wait. I have one Why would you do this?!?!?!? - Jimmer - 2012-01-12 I'll be dropping £25 the minute it's out. Then, I'll be dropping some more £'s on a Gertboard. Looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun! Then, I'll probably have to buy another one to install xbmc on as well.... of course! Just have to be patient now (and hope I can snag one of the first batch!) |
