Only R-Pi model B were being sold last week, and AFAIK is model B is the only one that Farnell and RS were taking pre-orders for (I was only offered a B). <br>A is aimed to cost $25, but has no ethernet making it less useful (to me) as an Erlang machine.<br>

There are two models of the RPi, Model A and Model B, with slightly<br>
different specs and pricing. See<br>
