I know many geeks out there were excited over the thought of having the cheap and tiny Raspberry Pi device to play with.

However, the company was hit with a bit of a setback last week after two suppliers decided not to distribute the board. Read The Full Story

The Raspberry Pi $35 open-source computer has gone on sale, and early demand for the incredibly capable mini-PC has already seen retail partner sites melt down under the stress.
