Raspberry Pi: Alpha boards in manufacture

Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced that alpha boards for a $25 ARM mini system are in manufacture and that they still expect to ship before end of 2011. Their intention is to "promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing." like in earlier days BBC did with their BBC Micro. It is amazing that it even is possible to produce such a device at that size and such a price. Intel really should worry about their portfolio with it's too power hungry Atom derivatives.
