    Just wondering if anyone knows when it's due for release? If it's a long way off, I may just get the B model for testing and playing around with for now.

    You can order it now.

    Go to:
    http://cpcireland.farnell.com/
    and put RASPBERRY-PI in the search box

    It works out about 44 Euro including shipping. The use UPS for delivery so you need someone to sign for it. They give you a tracking number.

    I picked up my items via:

    Raspberry Pi B+ Desktop (700MHz Processor, 512MB RAM, 4x USB Port)
    Amazon.co.uk + Super Saver Delivery (includes ROI) £30.00

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LPESRUK/

    I decided to treat myself to a rather fetching, 'Coupé' Pimoroni case. You save about £2 in S&H, from Amazon, as opposed to a direct purchase from the Pimoroni website, or via eBay.

    I cannot wait!

    My Raspberry Pi B+ & Pimoroni Pibow Coupé for the Model B+ Raspberry Pi arrived from Amazon. A few days apart. The Pi itself, delivered very very promptly, (ordered>Thursday delivered>Monday) from Amazon itself, with the Coupé, three days later, Pimoroni, via Amazon, from Sheffield, UK.

    The Coupé comes in a rather cute, old school sweet bag, wrapped around itself, packaging. I've embedded a series of pictures below.

    Here's a direct gallery link: (http://postimg.org/gallery/i7kyon1a/), if the embedded pictures go dead.

    I couldn't, for the life of me, find any pictures online, of MicroSD access, using the Pibow Coupé, I've included a photo of the slot with a card, pushed home, seated properly, in the slot.

    A lovely case.

    I need to source a USB to TTL serial cable now, for headless access.
