if you want a model, A may be good for embedded systems,  once you have
everything working on the B,  just switch the card over,  and i guess
gpio and other bits connected to it.

£19.13 each from Element 14.  I'm tempted, I wanted to get one for my
daughter to use on her TV, she doesn't need Ethernet (she'll be using
it for BBC iPlayer on XBMC) so the saving could go on a USB remote,
wifi adaptor and if need be a powered hub (not sure if a single USB
connection would be enough to power the Pi, wifi adaptor and USB
remote dongle).

Rob

do you have a link to where you actually buy one from element14,    please

clicking the link from the raspberry pi website takes me here
http://downloads.element14.com/raspberryPi1.html?COM=raspi-group

so model B yes,m but no reference to model A,

this will hopefully benefit other members here too :)

If you click the big ORDER NOW button, then select the country you get the option to order either.

Yeah I know, not ideal, but it's there. They're available to pre-order at the moment from Element 14. Considering what a shambles RS made of me registering my interest (I still haven't been told I can order one) I'll probably go to Element 14 or Tandy to get one :-)
