Can someone explain to me the room that the test photos are from? Is it sound proof? Why?
Close - radio waves not sound waves.
Raspberry is the most important project that made my family interested in "computer things" It gathered the whole family together to play old couch-games[0], something that most powerful consoles haven't even been close --specially with the grampas Really exited about what the future will bring us! 0: http://emulationstation.org/
Also, good on the Pi Foundation for keeping this listing in the open rather than requesting 6 month confidentiality for the pictures/test report (which almost all companies do).
I don't think they did: the confidentiality period is now 45 days only by default, see http://acbcert.com/documents/misc-docs/Memo-Short-Term-Vs-St... Certification took place at Track (now Element UK) on 2015-11-23, given the external picture dates, or 95 days ago, so it looks like it has been extended once.
Also, the confidentiality letter would specifically request short-term if they wanted it.
Given Broadcom's connections to the project, it's almost a surprise they didn't have some kind of Broadcom option for WiFi/BT earlier. Must have stung at Broadcom to be powering the most popular hobbyist ARM Linux board, but almost every one using WiFi powered by Realtek,Ralink,etc.
All we need is USB 3 and it would be perfect.
I am curious of your application for USB 3? Care to elaborate?

I must be the only one disappointed with old-school games. I was super excited to set up a retropie, after 20 minutes playing the nostalgia wore off quickly. Anyone else find the same?
There's some classic gems, to be sure, but they were also all we had.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, this is the antenna. I cant believe it took them that long, Broadcom is famous for their BT/Wifi chips, buildin wifi was a no brainer, and cost shouldnt be an issue when you have great connections inside the company.
Is a ceramic wifi antenna's range comparable to that of a regular PCB antenna?
Comparing the photos to my Pi 2, it doesn't seem very different. There's an extra IC near the microsd card, a connector beneath the HDMI port, and a few other small changes. But nothing that looks like an antenna. Any idea where that might be? Edit: as lovelearning pointed out, there is a small ceramic-looking piece in the upper-left of the top side, near the GPIO pins and LVDS display connector. That might be it.
