2. What is Raspberry Pi?  A single-board microcomputer developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK to promote the teaching of basic computer science to students.  About the size of a credit card  Three manufacturers are licensed to produce 3 configurations (Newark element14/Premier Farnell, RS Components & Egoman  Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC) that includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor & a VideoCore IV GPU  Originally a Model A with 256MB of RAM now called Model B  B+ Has 512MB of RAM  Price difference was about $10-$15 only (B+ = $45-55)
