[News] The Raspberry Pi Zero That Costs Only $10!

Last post for the night before bed. The team at Raspberry Pi have made a new updated mini-version of the original Raspberry Pi model, Raspberry Pi Zero. The Raspberry Pi Zero costs a miniature $10 (approximate NZD), and in the UK and US it comes free with the purchase of the exclusive MagPi magazine! A free computer in a magazine! Has the NZ TV Guide ever given you a free TV as part of their magazine yet? No I didn’t think so…

The specs of the Raspberry Pi Zero are as follows:

• A Broadcom BCM2835 application processor
  • 1GHz ARM11 core (40% faster than Raspberry Pi 1)
• 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM
• A micro-SD card slot
• A mini-HDMI socket for 1080p60 video output
• Micro-USB sockets for data and power
• An unpopulated 40-pin GPIO header
  • Identical pinout to Model A+/B+/2B
• An unpopulated composite video header
• Our smallest ever form factor, at 65mm x 30mm x 5mm

Here is a quick look at the Raspberry Pi Zero courtesy of TheRaspberryPiGuy:

You can buy the Raspberry Pi Zero from New Zealand on this website, plus additional shipping costs at your expense. A Geekzone user said it costed 16.50NZD all up including shipping to NZ.
