Totally sour grapes, but I sure get tweaked when I see people doing cool things with toys that are ostensibly available but that I can't buy yet because...

Its not just you. I haven't gotten mine yet either. Should be coming along now from Newark any day now...

Its funny. My jaw dropped initially, not because of the cool software hack, but because here was a fellow that had managed to get two raspis!

You too. Mine's been back-ordered since I ordered it. Which was within the first 24 hours after the launch.
I ordered two RPi boards on February 29th or whatever day they became available for pre-order. The first one shipped from Newark/Element14 about 2-3 weeks ago, and the second one arrived this past Friday. Did I just get lucky, timing-wise?
I bought a Pandaboard ES on Friday, it was on my desk by Monday. 3 times the cost, but about 5 times the power.
You know what? Grapes grow in clusters.

But yeah, I still want Raspberry Pi

My credit card was charged 3 weeks ago and still nothing in my mailbox.
