It’s a computer that costs $48, which makers hope will get every child programming – and the initial run of 10,000 has been snapped up by eager customers. While it may not look as attractive as its more expensive cousins, the credit-card-sized Raspberry Pi was launched last week in the UK to much fanfare, and will be coming to New Zealand on the next run. Equipped with two USB ports and an ethernet port to access the internet, it is capable of running word processing, internet, games, and high-definition video – the same capabilities as PCs costing 10 times its price.
