New $10 Raspberry Pi Zero comes with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
'The newest member of the Raspberry Pi product line costs just $10 plus tax and includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability. The "Raspberry Pi Zero W" is an updated version of the Raspberry Pi Zero. While it lacks some niceties, like Ethernet and full-sized USB-A ports, it's smaller than the flagship Pi and a fraction of the cost. The original Raspberry Pi Zero was released in November 2015 at a price of just $5/£4. The new Pi Zero W is almost identical to the original, but doubles the price to $10 and adds a wireless chip that supports 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi (2.4GHz-only) and Bluetooth 4.0.' -- source: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/02/new-10-raspberry-pi-z...

How can I buy one in New Zealand? Element14 don't have the zero in their catalogue. Nicegear have been out of stock for months. Cool they have released this but seems imposible to get my hands on one. Cheers, William
