No - it will be the 'original' Model B as opposed to the 'new' Model B. The Model A (model with no Ethernet and only one USB port) has not yet started shipping although that is still expected to happen before Christmas. It is still expected to have 256MB of RAM rather than 512MB although I guess that is subject to change depending on the price of RAM chips. > > Then again, the 'restriction' of one Pi per person has now been lifted. > > So, you can now have as many as you like ..... That restriction has been lifted for some time (since early July). That is one reason that there are now lots of 3rd party dealers supplying the Pi as they can now get bulk supplies.
