May 16, 201213 yr comment_2462 Ive heard a lot about the RasPi - I would love to get one, I just dont know what I would do with it. Report
May 16, 201213 yr Author comment_2484 What is a ras Pi and what does it do...excuse my ignorance You can't stay away from any 4x4 forum can you? Anyhoo, a Raspberry Pi is basically a mini (credit card sized) computer that runs on a version of Linux. It's absolutely bare bones, so that you can do just about anything you want with it (in a PC sense), given talent and incentive. Some clever soul has even managed to run Windows 7 on it.

May 17, 201213 yr comment_2797 It says in there website that "but have Wi-Fi antennae and embedded processors." am I reading it all wrong?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Report
May 17, 201213 yr Author comment_2799 They connect to the internet via wifi in the home and could most likely work off a public wifi network, but failing that, would need a mobile internet connection. Cheers Ray Report

May 18, 201213 yr Author comment_2989 Choices, choices: Aching to nab yourself a computer-on-a-stick before then? If you're willing to step down in specs, the Chinese-made MK802 could be the PC in your pocket. For $74 (versus $199 for the Cotton Candy), this 7-ounce device gives you a 1.5-GHz Allwinner A10 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage and, like the Cotton Candy, Android 4.0. http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/18/mk802-beats-cotton-candy-to-market/ Cheers Ray Report

May 28, 201213 yr comment_3950 I'm really looking forward to the day that one of these articles get posted with "they are available right now from xyz... rather than "we don't know when pre orders will be taken." And then... need to port the ecutalk software to android.... that would be cool. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Report
