    Raspberry pi is looking pretty awesome. I'm still debating whether I should go with Raspberry or Arduino for my robotics project.

    um whats the computing power of this....i didnt c any specs at the source

    EDIT: A guy in the Comments said it can do 3.8 Gflops (only) jah know in my opinion this is a waste of money and time...2k for a measly 3.8gflops....the rig in my sig does 60+ GFLOPS and for only 600USD smfh

    Well it is still a "super" computer. When processors minturise a little more we might be seeing some of the Tegra 3 type processors inside each of those.

    I would say a high number of processors and outstanding performance (relative).
