Post by: Shola Sholaz on Jul 22, 2013, 10:13 AM
It's a single circuit board the size of a credit card with no screen or keyboard, a far cry from the smooth tablets that dominate the technology market.
.
But the world's cheapest computer, costing just $25 (£17, 19.50 euros), has astonished its British creators by selling almost 1.5 million units in 18 months.
.
The Raspberry Pi is now powering robots in Japan and warehouse doors in Malawi, photographing astral bodies from the United States and helping to dodge censorship in China.
.
"We're closing in on one and half million (sales) for something that we thought would sell a thousand," said Eben Upton, executive director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
.
"It was just supposed to be a little thing to solve a little problem.
.
"We've sold many more to children than we expected to sell, but even more to adults. They're using it like Lego to connect things up."
