British game developer David Braben is showing off a working prototype of a tiny, thumb-sized computer that he says can be sold at $25 per unit. The nonprofit group Raspberry Pi is aiming the inexpensive device at less affluent school children and others who would benefit from having an ultra-small, ultra-cheap computer available to them. In an announcement on its website Raspberry Pi explained: “We plan to develop, manufacture, and distribute an ultra-low-cost computer, for use in teaching computer programming to children. We expect this computer to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world.
