The Raspberry Pi Foundation announced on Monday that the cheaper model of its microcomputer is now available in Europe and is coming “very soon” to the rest of the world. The Raspberry Pi Model A is equipped with the same 700MHz processor as the Model B but includes only one USB port, no Ethernet port, and half the RAM of the original model. The device consumes roughly a third of the power of the Model B, however, making it the perfect solution for projects that use a battery or solar power. The Raspberry Pi Model A is now available to European buyers for $25 from RS Components and Premier Farnell/element14.
