The Raspberry Pi is a prototype computer designed by game developer David Braben that is intended to stimulate the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The computer is mounted in a package the same size as a USB memory stick, and has a USB port on one end with an HDMI port on the other. The Blackberry Pi provides an ARM processor which is suitable for running Linux for an estimated price of about $25 (US) for a pre-configured system, cheap enough to give to a child to do whatever he or she wants with it. The prototype is part of a venture by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a charity whose aim is to "promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing."

The Raspberry Pi should be released before the end of 2011, according to an e-mail sent by one of it's developers (which cannot be referenced).
