Being based in Wales I struggle with the tech scene... seems I work for a company on the front of the tech startup curve but yet I live in an area and surrounded by a lot of people who are way behind it. Little gems like Raspberry Pi being made in Wales puts a little shimmer of hope in me...

@bentossell well, I think it's settled. Hong Kong is the place for you, Ben! :-)

I recently worked with the Pi for the first time... and while I know I'm late to the party, these are fantastic! So much cool little stuff to do at such a low price 😎

Can't wait to get my hands on this little beast and try this out. Pirate Radio Throwies http://makezine.com/projects/pir...

Do anyone know if someone is selling it as a bundle with all the necessary things to make it "ready to run" ? I.E. Adapters of sorts to fit your usual gear? I want to know how much that'll run for. Thanks!

@moravtchik The Pi Hut sell an essentials kit : http://thepihut.com/products/ras... The main issue with the zero for a lot of issues is the lack of wifi. You can add it of course but with only 1 USB port you're soon messing around with usb hubs. Also check out the CHIP (the $9 computer), that has wifi on board. Availability is also an issue there though.

Ah, the joys of living in the UK. $5 in the US (so I figure about £3?) - nope, £8-£10 (~$14). Yet the product is manufactured here in the UK..

@adamowenit not sure where you're getting those prices. it's £4 in the UK. (out of stock obviously) http://thepihut.com/collections/... £4 without the SD card -

What kinds of things can you do with this? Could you use it the same way you use a basic cpu? Sorry kinda new to the product.

This is awesome! I wrote about building your own Chromecast / AppleTV with RPi 2 (http://jes.al/2015/09/building-a...). Would be interesting to see how well something like that would work with a $5 version.

This little investment can literally turn anything into SMART. It's a gem for DIY people. Time to forget about things like Chromecast and similar stuff.

I love the idea of this and I'll surely get one but I find the $5 advertised price a bit disingenuous. In Australia at any of the resellers you're looking at $20-30 for it.

Hey Guys, Great product for Educational and all my DIY purposes. Good to see so many iterations of Raspberry Pi. Really gives a wide variety to pick from.

Now the question is...what do we build?
Luka
Anyone knows how it works? Can we add external hardware to it? Can we hack the hardware itself?
Blaine Hatab
Well this certain validates the C.H.I.P. Can't wait to see more come out from this space.
Kim Schulz
unfortunately sold out in most places already.
Jarod Stewart
This is so cool! Love that it is made in Wales. Good show!
Luka
Hopefully this leads to a hardware revolution that can catch up the software revolution!

Out of stock! Too bad :'(
