Pi Zero: A full Raspberry Pi for just $5

"Have you ever wanted a Raspberry Pi but thought that £16/$25—roughly three packs of cigarettes—was a little exorbitant for a complete computer capable of running Linux? Well, I have good news: the Raspberry Pi Foundation has just released the Pi Zero, a single-board computer that costs just £4/$5." -- source: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/11/pi-zero-a-full-raspberry-pi-for-just-...

The pictures are fun. It makes a US dollar bill look huge. Also fits nicely in an Altoids tin.

The first ever computer to come free with a magazine <https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/>?

R-Pi Zero looks like it may sell like hot cakes, ...but be watch the price. Something happens to it that is more than the difference in exchange rate. The media is quoting the R-Pi Zero at US$5. At the moment element14 quote the R-Pi Zero at NZ$20.37 or NZ$27.89 for the Noobs version. http://nz.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspberrypi-zero/sbc-raspberry-pi-zero/... http://nz.element14.com/raspberry-pi/raspberrypi-zero-noobs/kit-raspberry-pi...
