Summary David Braben has created an ultra-low cost computer.
British game developer and co-founder of Frontier Developments, David Braben has created an ultra-low cost computer the size of a USB stick, Raspberry Pi. Fully configured system is expected to cost 25$ only.Braben developed the PC in order to encourage the pursuit of computer programming in children. The tiny PC sports an HDMI port at its head and a USB port at its tail, giving it the ability to be plugged into a TV, hooked up to a USB keyboard or combined with a touch screen.The computer packs a 700MHz ARM11 processor with 128MB of SDRAM. These low cost PC are specially made for the school children that will allow them to do typical things such as go on Facebook or tweet, but it will also give them the freedom to become creators of products they typically consume. There is a lot of work needed for the Raspberry Pi but Braben believes he will put out the little computers within a year.
