Raspberry Pi 2 Thread

Okay.

Just to say that three werks before the Raspberry Pi 2 announcement, I bought a PcDuino v3.
A Dual core Arm A7 chip.

Its actually pretty fast for the usual internat usage, and simple email, text writing stuff.

I'll be ordering a Pi2 because the ecosystem is going to be so much bigger, with xbmc support and stuff.
And its a quad A7.

Half a million sold in three weeks.
Says it all.

Thoughts, Experiences, and Insights, Here Please :-)

(I just have to find a way to adapt the PcDuino TFT Touchscreen to the Pi2)

Has a fix been implemented yet for the Raspberry Pi 2 component that is showing not wanted light-sensitivity?

I haven't looked into R-Pi 2 yet, but did they also fix the ethernet, USB and Flash implementations issues that plagued R-Pi 1? On R-Pi 1, the USB was wonky and would lock up the entire Pi once in a while when stressed. Another side-effect was that you could easily lose the network connection when stressing USB, as ethernet runs off the USB bus (nasty!). Also flash cards would occasionally get corrupted on the R-Pi 1 (hasn't happened to me yet fortunately, but many people reported this).

Another thing I wonder about is when plain Debian for armf will support R-Pi 2... I'd prefer it over having to use a fork such as Raspbian.

I suppose i'll cross those bridges when I actually have one :-)
