One of the really great things about an all like FlipBoard is its ability to bring cool and interesting things to your attention that you might not have spotted.

RaspberryPi is one such thing.

These guys are making an ultra low-cost Linux based PC with everything you need on a PCB about the size of a credit-card. What’s more, it’s perfectly capable of playing 1080p video seemingly.

Coming in with an expected price-tag of just $25, these little machines, with this sort of performance, suggest a whole range of exciting deployments from monitoring and control circuits, set-top-boxes and in-home appliance updates.

At present, RaspberryPi is scheduled for release some time in early 2012. I’ll be picking up a couple, together with the separate IO boards, just to play around with and put them through their paces.
