Anyone have a link to the product pages for either of the suppliers? I can only find an "interest in" page.

I wish, both sites appear down at the moment, probably due to heavy load

Both sites slashdotted in under a minute. Nice. No one can say they weren't warned.

Check new tweets from Rpi on their account, maybe they'll give some hint http://twitter.com/raspberry_pi (btw it looks like the Raspberry Pi release has "slashdotted" their sites)

And after they spent the past couple of weeks cockily batting away concerns about how they'd handle the traffic load, too. "You're all talking like we don't know what we're doing" is the line I recall being used several times.

To me this is the key point. No need to fight through the rush tonight, there will enough to go around.

That is true, for some reason I missed that from the site. Thanks for pointing that out...
