Rasberry Pi, Has a Faster GPU than an iPhone4S

If you haven't seen or heard about the Rasberry Pi, where have you been? You're in for a treat!

The Rasberry Pi is a mini credit-card sized system on a chip that will be launching in the next month or so. It will come in two versions, one at $25 and a more expensive one with extra ram at $35. Amazingly, the GPU built into this cheap little computer is faster than that of an iPhone 4S and also faster than Nvidia's Tegra 2!

The board has an HDMI output, is powered by any mini-usb charger and is built to be extended. It is also capable of 1080P video playback. It will support several Linux distributions out of the box and also XBMC the famous open source media center software.

The best thing? It runs OpenGL!

We'll keep you updated on the progress of the release, but apparently the first boards have been manufactured and will be on sale soon.
