I must be the only person in the world that doesn't know the use of a Pi
Isn't it just a full PC (motherboard/cpu/gpu/ram) in a cigarette sized box?
(not being rude, or trolling. but i am really curious as to the appeal of this. market it to me.)

Placed my order this morning. Standard shipping and just the board was R361. (It was R12 cheaper yesterday)

It's basically like a high powered smartphone, without all the phone bits, for R350. To be more technical it's an ARM based SoC (System on a Chip).I must be the only person in the world that doesn't know the use of a Pi

I just found this: http://www.makeymakey.com/
It can use anything as a controller, so this will make some interesting uses for the Raspberry.

Just imagine the world of possibilities.
You should be able to program it that if the door opens, to minimize all active windows and open some game / work application

dammit sold out in under a day ... invite required to order ... eish, the world of geek has grown, dont know if its a good or bad thing :-/
A tree never hits an automobile except in self-defence.
Wasn't it initially sold provided that you had pre-ordered or registered on their mailing lists which would allow you to receive notifications of the first batch supplied? I was under the impression that if you placed your name on the list you'd be able to purchase the Raspberry as soon as stock arrives, on a first come first serve basis. How does one obtain these 'invites'?
