They think Farnell might be sold out already.
Also: "If you're only seeing "register an interest" on RS's site, you're on the wrong page."

I've got two Aussie pages up, but they are 'register interest' only And different prices. One horribly inflated. Moot point I guess.

I was unable to even register at any of the sites, they required a company to even accept my registration...

Ain't it. All I got was the RS register interest page, but my interest was registered ages ago. Farnell site I can't even load.
So tired now I'm going to snooze for few hours and looks like I'll be waiting till they got lots in stock. Both sites probably sold out and just taking more email addresses to alert when back in stock eh.

Hmm, sold out and I still haven't got a full web page loaded from either store.

Same here. I'm starting to doubt if I want it this badly.
Hear hear.

I wonder how many of the people buying these really know what it is they are getting? Bare ARM circuit boards running linux aren't exactly the easiest systems to use (I've got a beagleboard and a pandaboard es).
Spectacular fail. Raspberry Pi have ruined my birthday, my life, killed my dog, shouted at my cat, punched my mother and run off with my wife.
Perhaps I'll score one in Two Months?

I got it confirmed now that Farnell only deals with companies and RS only ships within UK. Great planning.

Maybe we can get some cheap through that chinese company selling the fake pandoras?

Well, I guess today is not the day then.
Raspberry Pi ought to have verified this and should have ensured direct links and proper availability on the two sites before going live.
Shows again that you can't really rely on business partners doing a reasonable job.

Hmm. Anyway, I have my expression of interest in on the Farnell AU site. That'll have to do.

no joy here, got a "register interest" page from RS before the site went down and farnell has so far refused to load. epic fail.
@Caine is there an equivalent of Maplin ( http://www.maplin.co.uk/ ) here in the Netherlands where you can buy components, breadboards etc? /offtopic
