The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It's a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.
The Raspberry Pi was designed to run Linux kernel based operating systems, there is even a working group porting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi model B board is supplied as the board only, and comes without SD-Card, power supply, keyboard, case or cables.
