$25 Raspberry Pi Model A Now Shipping In Asia, After Landing In Europe Last Month – Heading Stateside Soon
Author:
The $ 25 Model A Raspberry Pi has gone on sale in Asia, following its launch in Europe last month – suggesting a U.S. landing can’t be too far off for the most affordable of the Pi Foundation’s two low-cost microcomputers. One of the Foundation’s distributors, RS Components, said today it is now shipping the Model A Pi in Asia.
Speaking to TechCrunch at the end of last month, Raspberry Pi founder, Eben Upton, said the not-for-profit organisation had completed the paperwork required to kick off global sales of the Model A, adding that it and “hope[d] to be able to enable these within the next couple of weeks”.
The $ 25 Model A is the most affordable Pi in the Foundation’s microcomputing arsenal, a full ten dollars cheaper than the original Model B. To get the price down, the unit has half the RAM (256MB) of the second revision Model B, only one USB port and no Ethernet connection. It also consumes less power, making it suitable for remote battery-powered applications — although it can still support a ‘home media centre’ use-case too, according to the Foundation.
Asked about early sales of the Model A Pi at the end of February, Upton said: “Early indications are that we’ve been selling between 5,000 and 10,000 units per week across the two distributors: so, roughly a quarter of the sales rate of Model Bs.”
“It will be interesting to see whether these sales have displaced Model B sales, or have grown the market,” he added.
In January, Raspberry Pi passed the one million Model B sales mark — a far cry from the founders’ original estimates of a few thousand units. The Pi was conceived as a tool to get kids learning to code – but has also proved popular with big kids who like to tinker. And with Google.
As well as being used for powering DIY gadgets, the Pi has had plenty of software ported over to it — including classic first-person shooter Quake, block-building community game Minecraft – and for those who really want to relive the old days of computing: a DOS (PC) emulator, rpix86 (shown below running a benchmark):

Asus PadFone, tablet Station get imported stateside courtesy of Negri Electronics, yours for $860
Author: Gabe Hall
Having to fiddle with a separate Android tablet and smartphone and a laptop just won’t cut it? You might be eager to get your mitts the ASUS PadFone if that’s your sentiment, but folks in the US won’t exactly find these at their local Best Buy. Still, despite having any no official carrier support or definitive launch plans within the states, you’ll now be able to snag the smartphone bundled with its tablet dock if you’re willing to hit the gray market. As discovered by Phone Arena, our friends at Negri Electronics are now stocking the international edition of the über-hybrid; $ 860 gets you one to call your own, but tactile-typists should note that it doesn’t include the keyboard dock. To refresh your memory, the fone itself is runs Ice Cream Sandwich atop a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 CPU, and features a 4.3-inch AMOLED display, 16GB of expandable storage, HSPA+ connectivity and a 1,520mAh battery. Additionally, the 10-inch PadFone Station (tablet dock) scores you more screen real estate (naturally) and a nine-fold increase in battery life. Feel free to refresh your knowledge of the device (and its accessories) with our previous hands-on posts, then check out the source link below if you decide to pick one up with your hard-earned dough.

HP announces Omni 27 all-in-one PC, brings h9 Phoenix desktop stateside
Author: Anthony Kristo
HP might be all about laptops right now, but the company has a few desktops up its sleeves, like this Omni 27 all-in-one PC. As you might expect from the name, it’s got a 27-inch 1080p LED-backlit display, with edge-to-edge glass on the screen, and a design lifted directly from HP’s TouchSmart all-in-one PCs. There’s no touchscreen here, but the base system does start at $ 1,199.99. That includes a 2.5GHz Sandy Bridge Core i5-2400S processor, integrated graphics, 6GB of RAM, Beats Audio, two USB 3.0 ports, and an HDMI input. There are also TV tuner and Blu-ray drive options. We got a chance to play with the all-in-one at a press event recently, and we found the display a bit low-res for its size, even if you consider the computer’s low…

Sprint Brings The HTC Flyer Tablet Stateside As The EVO View 4G
Author: Brittany Turner
Remember the HTC Flyer, that 7″ tablet that HTC debuted at Mobile World Congress last month? Have you been hopin’ and prayin’ that it would come stateside? Well, friend, your wildest dreams have just come true.
We’re at Sprint’s press conference, where ol’ yeller has just announced that they’re bringing the Flyer stateside as the EVO View 4G. If you want a tablet, but don’t want an iPad or a Xoom, and don’t mind running Android 2.2 rather than 3.0 for the next few weeks — that’s getting pretty niche, isn’t it? — this is the tablet for you.

Archos 70c color e-reader now up for pre-order stateside
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
What do you get when you cross the Atlantic ocean with the Archos 70b color e-reader? An alphabetical shift one place, it seems. The Android 2.1-powered book substitute with a 7-inch 800 x 480 TFT display has popped up for pre-order on JR.com. No picture (although we assume it’s pretty much the same as the 70b), a $ 149.99 price tag, and no definitive release date. Resistive touch screen, 600MHz CPU, 4GB Storage, WiFi, SD slot, and a 10-hour untethered lifeline. Much cheaper than a Nook Color, but is still appealing amongst an even sweeter competition? That’s your call.

Lenovo C200 brings NVIDIA Ion 2 stateside for $499
Author: Tech Blogger
If you’ve been patiently waiting on a low-cost NVIDIA Ion 2 system it looks like today is your lucky day since it looks like Lenovo has scored an early lead in unleashing the wrath of the new Atom / GeForce combo. Available sometime this month, the 18.5-inch C200 all-in-one isn’t going to replace that Core i7 rig for ripping through Command & Conquer 4, but its Intel dual-core Atom D510 CPU can handle the light productivity while its GeForce G210 GPU will automatically turn on — thanks to Optimus — to deal with some Spore or 1080p video. Unfortunately the C200 only has a single touch, 1366×768-resolution display and a standard integrated DVD drive rather than Blu-ray, but we guess we can’t expect much more for its appealing $499 price tag. Lenovo will also offer a sans Ion and touch version of the C200 for $399. We told you today was going to be your lucky day! PR and press pics for your viewing pleasure below.
