把电脑装在U盘里,挂在钥匙链上,找台显示器和一个键盘就可以上网,运行办公软件。这不是做梦,12个月以内或许你就可以拥有这样一台U盘电脑。该电脑由英国游戏工作室 Frontier Developments 创始人、Elite作者之一 David Braben开发。
该工作室已经开发出《过山车大亨》等多款经典游戏,但Braben还在努力解决另一个问题:让编程和计算机原理教学回归学校。他认为21世纪的教育重视通过文字处理软件撰写文档,制作幻灯片,以及基本的计算机技能。但忽视了很多计算机科学,比如计算机硬件和基本的编程技能等。
于是他打算制造一款廉价电脑,免费送给学生,然后设计相关的使用课程。目前Braben已经开发出一款U盘电脑,一端有一个HDMI接口,另一端有一个USB接口。连接显示器和USB键盘之后就可以成为一台全功能Linux电脑。可以上网,可以允许办公软件。价格只有25美元。
硬件也不是省油的灯:700MHz ARM11 处理器,128MB RAM,OpenGL ES 2.0,1080p图形输出,一个SD卡槽,可外接12MP摄像头等设备。
该U盘电脑将通过慈善机构 Raspberry Pi 基金发行。至于时间,Braben称12个月以内。

π Raspberry Pi FoundationThe Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1129409) which exists to promote the study of computer science and related topics, especially at school level, and to put the fun back into learning computing.
We plan to develop, manufacture and distribute an ultra-low-cost computer, for use in teaching computer programming to children. We expect this computer to have many other applications both in the developed and the developing world.
Our first product is about the size of a USB key, and is designed to plug into a TV or be combined with a touch screen for a low cost tablet. The expected price is $25 for a fully-configured system.
How would you use an ultra-low-cost computer? Do you have open-source educational software we can use? Contact us at info@raspberrypi.org.
