#2What's great is now you can just pop onto Amazon, order a model B for $40 shipped and have it at your door in 48 hours.

#3I am running two Tor nodes on two raspberries:

A single pi can push about 600 kb/s. This includes a lot of circuit requests and other encryption. Thinking of buying some more.

#4What's the plan for future devices? It would be great if some low cost device like this would have a 12-18 month upgrade cycle and create the sort of buzz as an Apple or Samsung device. Moore's law has benefits at $30 too. Maybe release a $99 version every year then make last year's model available at $35. Get Intel involved? They're really working hard to get into low-power devices.

Yes! I am waiting desperately for a Raspberry Pi with an updated CPU!

Except that raspberry runs on arm. Don't see that changing any time soon.

#7I'd like to hear a little about the educational successes that RPi may have achieved since launch. That was the goal, right?

#8I absolutely love how ubiquitous these things have become. They're genuinely useful for a lot of different purposes but, to me personally, I like how eco they are. I realize this sounds a bit eco-hipster, but I really mean it: Whereas people used to have big media center machines under their TVs, you can just pop a Pi underneath your TV, install RaspBMC, and that's all you need. It takes 3-4w, nothing more. Lovely.
Having said that, a 60" TV and surround sound receiver will probably also take a least a few watts, if I had to guesstimate :)

Lots of schools now have Raspberry Pi clubs - often teaching programming and basic hardware stuff.
I've been teaching a Scratch class in my local library (https://www.codeclub.org.uk/) which has also been distributing Pi's to kids and classrooms.
I'm sure there are some more verified statistics - but from an anecdotal POV, they've been a resounding success.

#10I wonder when they plan to make one based on Cortex A53/ARMv8. I assume sometime in 2015, to get it a little cheaper?
