    Very cool device. Can't seem to get my hands on one. Sold out everywhere , except Ebay sellers trying to price gouge.
    I have pre orderd one of these with built in WiFi B/G/N & Bluetooth 4.0 as well as 4GB of Storage http://getchip.com/pages/chip I grabbed the PocketC.H.I.P pkg..
    you can add these features to the PI but at a hefty price. I wan't both anyway =)
