Uhm, they're rather obviously not interested in making money.
They're a charity funded well enough they don't need to take pre-orders, and they're selling their products for all of $25 and $35 respectively.
Given what they've managed to engineer into that little thing they could charge $99 and I'd pay it.

Yea I want one also. But the article says they will only release 2 codex licenses and point to that as the reason they can do it so cheap. I'll edit my statement.

First, it's codec, not codex.
Second, there are tons of codecs to install on the box, that will cost you absolutely nothing, but that they cannot distribute without incurring a fee. Fer-instance DivX. Anyone can install it for their own use, but if you're a device maker you need to pay DivX if you want to package it into your product.

posted: When can I buy one?
We are hoping to have the Raspberry Pi available to order in February 2012. The initial production run will be 10 000 uncased development-style boards with further productions runs starting once these have been sold.
Where can I buy one?
The Raspi will initially only be available to purchase through raspberrypi.com –if you sign up to the mailing list on the front page you’ll be notified as soon as we’re ready to start shipping.
How many can I buy in one go?
For the first batch we are limiting orders to one per person. This restriction will be relaxed as production gets in to full swing, and we can be sure of getting boards to all who want them. This should prevent eBay scalping (to some extent – we will also be auctioning some boards ourselves to try to make sure there’s no market for scalpers), and ensure that as many different individuals as possible get their Raspberry Pi!
How much will it cost?
The Model A will cost $25 and the Model B $35, plus local taxes.
How can I pay for it?
We will accept most major cards, PayPal, and offline payments.
What will I get when I buy one?
A Raspberry Pi. Leads, a power supply or SD cards are not included but can be purchased at the same time from the store. You will be able to buy preloaded SD cards too. The first batch (February 2012) will not have a case.

You can download the images, including the XBMC build, if you already have an SSD card.
