Why have I received no e-mails? oh well. Are there any people here in Australia which have actually ordered and received one? if so what hoops were there to be jumped through, and where does the hidden price rape from left field come in? I have trouble believing that we'd be allowed to get our hands on one without price gouging at some point upstream.

Most important question is do we now have access to the information on the binary blob drivers? one of the things I want the Pi for is bare metal programming with the addition of neat hardware ability.

I'm in Aus and I received my email earlier in the week from RS saying I was allowed to order. Cost roughly 26 pound including delivery.

The Openelec seems to be making pretty good progress, should have something decent in a few months hopefully.
