Raspberry Pi the credit card sized single board computer is one popular DIY project. Even though the specs are nothing to write home about, the price is - around $25. Well, now the fine folks behind this do-it-yourslef project have launched an app store.
From Rpaspberry Pi:
"We’ve been amazed by the variety of software that people have written for, or ported to, the Raspberry Pi. Today, together with our friends at IndieCity and Velocix, we’re launching the Pi Store to make it easier for developers of all ages to share their games, applications, tools and tutorials with the rest of the community. The Pi Store will, we hope, become a one-stop shop for all your Raspberry Pi needs; it’s also an easier way into the Raspberry Pi experience for total beginners, who will find everything they need to get going in one place, for free.
The store runs as an X application under Raspbian, and allows users to download content, and to upload their own content for moderation and release. At launch, we have 23 free titles in the store, ranging from utilities like LibreOffice and Asterisk to classic games like Freeciv and OpenTTD and Raspberry Pi exclusive Iridium Rising. We also have one piece of commercial content: the excellent Storm in a Teacup from Cobra Mobile."
still have`nt gotten around to building one of these (I think I`ll use a beer can as a case) but this just might give me the reason to do this.
