I have three.   Ordered 1 about 2 months ago, and then ordered  two more 
(before my first one arrived) about two weeks ago, and got them after about a 
week.
For now  I'm just getting comfortable with Linux and creating SD cards, and 
fighting with powered USB hubs ( cyberpower, on the list or working ones ) but 
still gives me grief depending on the time of day. And which ports I plug 
things in... sometimes work great... other times... meh...

The following two wireless devices work great in the two built in usb ports no 
powered hub required...

I have a good wireless usb interface: Netgear N150,
wireless keyboard/mouse combo: Genius Slimstar 8000 wireless mouse

Projects hoping to do:

Internet based treat dispenser that takes pictures and emails me a shot of my 
dog enjoying the treat...
Got a simplified version working on arduino (no pics...) just dispense remotely 
via UDP app on iphone.

May have them send temperature information to me from various points in the 
house...

Messing around in general.

May just flash some L.E.D.'s with it.  :)

Hi,

Two new Raspberry Pi computers showed up at my door today! Anyone else have 
one, and if so what are you doing with them?
I'm not a big Linux person, but I hear they're working on Android for it as 
well...

Steve
