Raspberry Pi on slow burner

Friday, 25 May, 2012

RPi distributor RS Components says the next delivery of the pocket-sized computer is likely to be July or August.

Lim Cheng Mong, RS’s head of electronics marketing, Asia Pacific, said only 57 have been shipped to Australia so far, but over 300,000 people have registered interest in the product worldwide.

To clear the backlog, the next 75,000 people in the queue will be invited to place an order in the next few weeks, with 15,000 orders being taken every two days.

Even though production is being ramped up, Lim said there is still “no visibility” on delivery of new orders.
