We all know platforms like the Beagleboard, which are cheap hardware platforms which can be used in all sorts of projects. A new entry into this market is Raspberry Pi, a British ARM board which is slated to be released in the fourth quarter of this year. For a mere $25, you'll have a fully-configured ARM-based 1080p-capable mini-motherboard. The device is still in development, and only a few days ago, the alpha version of the board was demonstrated running Quake III.

我们都听说过Beagleboard这样的硬件平台。它们价格低廉，可用于各种各样的项目当中。 Raspberry Pi， 一类计划于今年第四季度发布的英国ARM开发板，是这一领域的新秀。仅仅25美元的价格，你拥有的将会是一个配置完备的、基于ARM的、支持 1080p（一种高清视频显示格式）的迷你开发板。该设备仍在开发当中；才几天前，该设备一个运行Quake III的alpha版本被 演示。

Raspberry Pi is a non-profit organisation from the United Kingdom, aiming to develop an extremely low-cost ARM motherboard which can be used to develop cheap yet powerful hardware for developing markets, while also providing those of us in what I would reluctantly call the "developed" world with a cheap motherboard to hack around with. Their first product is about the size of a credit card, and carries an impressive set of specifications:

Raspberry Pi是来自联合王国的一个非营利性组织，致力于开发一个价格极其低廉，可用于为开发市场提供廉价而功能强大的硬件，同时又给我们这类业余爱好者提供一块便宜的可供探索的母板的ARM母板。他们的首款产品只有信用卡般大小，而却搭载了以下惊人的特性：

700MHz ARM11

•700MHz ARM11

128MB or 256MB of SDRAM

•128MB或256MB的SDRAM

OpenGL ES 2.0

•OpenGL ES 2.0

1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode

•1080p30 H.264高品质解码

Composite and HDMI video output

•组合与高清视频输出

USB 2.0

•USB 2.0

SD/MMC/SDIO memory card slot

•SD/MMC/SDIO记忆卡插槽

General-purpose I/O

•通用IO

Optional integrated 2-port USB hub and 10/100 Ethernet controller

•可选的集成的2端口USB集线器和10/100以太网控制器

Open software (Ubuntu, Iceweasel, KOffice, Python)

•开源软件（Ubuntu，Iceweasel，KOffice，Python）

There will be two models - model A and model B. Model B adds an ethernet port and will cost $35. Model A will be geared towards developing markets and schools (to learn programming). It will support various Linux distributions, and they plan to sell SD cards with the distributions pre-loaded (clever). They are sufficiently funded (and thus, don't take pre-orders), they will ship them worldwide once released, and intend to offer a buy-one-give-one program (but you can buy one on your own as well).

有两个模型可供选择——模型A和模型B。模型B增加了一个以太网端口，售价35美元。模型A面向开发市场和（教编程 的）学校，将支持诸多Linux发行，并计划发售预装这些发行的SD卡（很聪明的做法）。他们资金充足（因此不需要预定），将把它们发往世界各地，并试图 提供买一送一活动（当然你也可以亲自去买）。
