My guess is they are making very little to know money off of each one and they control the manufacturing so they can completely control the price to as low as they can

I'm guessing here, but think TI/Casio.  Casio's calcs (older ones at least, maybe newer ones as well) are a ton better than TI's but cost a ton less.. It could just be that they're not ripping people off Tongue

They're not ripping people off.  In fact, they say they are putting all profit back in to it to make more boards.  The problem is their launch failed miserably.  Too many things were done badly, and their partnership companies didn't do what they said they would.

Really? I thought it was a success! Smiley

What you said sounds like what happened with OpenPandora, where everything pretty much fell apart, and the device, although real, seemed to be vaporware. Everything that could've gone wrong went wrong (incorrect shipping, faulty parts, bad mfrs. that didn't do the orders, etc.)

Well, considering both RS and farnell ended up having a "register your interest page", and weren't actually selling it, yes, it ended miserably.  As of now, not a single person that I know of has confirmation of owning a raspberry pi.  The only guy I know of that might own one paid an extra $20 from element14's site, which has a month or more lead time.

here's something i found on elemental14's threads:

Quote
The Pi people can't be blamed. They did the best they could. 10,000 boards will have cost them about $250,000. That's a huge amount of money for six people to gamble - and until about 0800 on Wednesday they didn't KNOW how it would go.  Getting a million boards produced for the launch would have been a huge gamble, they could easily have been left with 900,000 unsold boards that needed to be dumped.The surge of interest might have died down shortly after release time and the number needed could have been only a few times the original batch size.

This totally makes sense. The guys behind the Pi didn't had any way to predict how much people will buy it at first launch and how much boards they needed.

Well, considering both RS and farnell ended up having a "register your interest page", and weren't actually selling it, yes, it ended miserably.
Heh, I didn't think of it that way, but now that you mention it... but hey, we'll get it in a few months instead of a few years, right? Cheesy

As of now, not a single person that I know of has confirmation of owning a prizm.
You're tired. Wink I own a PRIZM! Cheesy (And a certain community is obsessed with them because they own PRIZMs! Cheesy)

The only guy I know of that might own one paid an extra $20 from element14's site, which has a month or more lead time.
Yeah, I was a bit puzzled at first at the price inflation, but I guess that's why.
Yeah, I was a bit tired, thanks. I edited it.  I own a prizm too, actually.  The price inflation has something to do with importing or exporting goods.

Well, I guess they ran out of stock real fast. Seems they didn't made enough for the launch. Also which one is better between the two stores?

here's something i found on elemental14's threads:

The Pi people can't be blamed. They did the best they could. 10,000 boards will have cost them about $250,000. That's a huge amount of money for six people to gamble - and until about 0800 on Wednesday they didn't KNOW how it would go.  Getting a million boards produced for the launch would have been a huge gamble, they could easily have been left with 900,000 unsold boards that needed to be dumped.The surge of interest might have died down shortly after release time and the number needed could have been only a few times the original batch size.
This totally makes sense. The guys behind the Pi didn't had any way to predict how much people will buy it at first launch and how much boards they needed.
I saw a small and fleeting update that they had changed from the original 10,000 boards to how ever many were bought would be how ever many were made.

I also saw a recent twitter update about how they are working on rev2 because of a small hardware bug.

Personally I think it may be better to wait a month or two to buy one so things get set up to work better. Hopefully by summer everything is working so I can order a couple if I get the money
