Long-promised $25 Raspberry Pi finally goes on sale

When the Raspberry Pi project was unveiled more than a year ago, two models were promised: one costing $25 and a more powerful one for $35. Ultimately, only the $35 device went on sale, to extreme popularity, with possibly a million sold.

But for those of you who felt $35 was just too expensive for a computer, that $25 “Model A” is finally available. It’s now on sale in Europe, and the company will “lift this restriction very soon so the rest of the world can order too,” Raspberry Pi spokeswoman Liz Upton wrote today.
