This is great news... for business customers, as they're those are the only channels they'll be available through.
Well, unless you don't mind spending $200-$400 per unit to scalpers, who magically never seem to run out of stock.

This is great news… for business customers, as they’re those are the only channels they’ll be available through.
~~Could you elaborate, as I would imagine you'd be able to buy it from anywhere that wants to sell it, if not online?~~
Edit: As I read further into this conversation a comment stood out for me that gave me understanding on what the original comment I was replying to might have been speaking about.
They’re gonna prioritise companies again and make it impossible for normal people to get it, right?
Wow the foundation really hates the idea of putting reliable dependable storage on their device.
Like would it kill you to have an M2 slot?
An M.2 makes it really difficult for a kid to pop the card out, plug it into a computer and flash it.
I think RPI Foundation is still holding onto its education-targeted roots.
I think the compute models are more targeted at the industrial/commercial side of requirements.
And any homelab enthusiast would probably be better buying a cheap used/refurbished thin-client
Genuinely stupid question, but can someone tell me how many 1080p HEVC/REMUX streams can I run on this with jellyfin? Either I can buy this or build a budget PC, but I've been out of the game for far too long to do the latter (the last one I built was when CSGO was a new thing lol).
I'm a little disappointed to not see AV1 decoding mentioned, since Broadcom has had one for years now.
Well they clearly don't care about video transcoding since they removed h264.
REMOVED H264??!
well then
There are many small DIY computers on the market now, not just Raspberry Pi.
Orange Pi, Banana Pi, Asus Tinkerboard, ..
Those usually don't have delivery issues.
Orange Pi delivery is only available via Ali Express or Amazon though.
Stock does seems low on Raspberrys, but I picked up a pi 4 last week without issue.
Can we get a usb-c port with data? And more power supply to the ports? I hate having to power hard disks with a separate cable.

£59.30 for the 4gig. £79 for the 8gig. No idea why people are going off thinking they need to spend £165.
Pre-order info page with dates etc:

depends on the availability of the board, which historically has not been that great, the street price is gonna be upward twice to three times more than listed price.
I haven't followed Raspberry Pi for years - when did they go from $25-35 to $100+?
So for how much :-D
I'd take a cheap slow one any day...
Man I really want something in the full size form factor but with a CPU closer to a zero2, basically I want a pi3 modernised and cost optimised, not another more powerful pi.
Yeah I want a cheaper zero with less power use, very few of my projects come close to using all the zeros resources so if they could do similar spec cheaper and modernized it would be amazing.
Maybe chuck on an ADC, power management for batteries, better usb power supply...
Obviously I got a RPi4 just a couple months ago, after struggling for 2-3 years... Well, crap.
EDIT: at least the prices didn't seem to have increases significantly over the previous version.
I was going to say, will I ever be able to buy one?
Are you talking about RPi4 or RPi5? RP4 can be now found easily, at least in my region (Spain).
