"The Raspberry Pi USB computer is tiny, and the man who made it intends to manufacture it so cheaply he says it could be given away to school children.

Created by UK game developer David Braben, the computer is about the size of a typical USB stick and will cost £15 ($23). With its USB port on one side and HDMI port on the other, it can function as a real PC.

What sorts of components can you fit on such a limited piece of real estate? Surprisingly, there’s enough room for a 700 MHz ARM11 processor, 128 MB of RAM and OpenGL graphics with enough power to display 1080p video."

    you can prolly hack your mobile phone into the thing, and use the number keypad for data entry.

    hell, and even the screen of your phone for the display.
