Frequently Asked Questions about Raspberry Pi

UPDATED AT 8:51 am GMT 26 March

Q.  What is the latest update ?

A. COMPLIANCE TESTING - Over the weekend, Raspberry Pi provide us with 
an update on the compliance testing needed for the Model B boards. 
Originally, they had intended to defer compliance testing until the 
release of the cased educational boards. But, as demand has been so high 
for even the uncased version, we've agreed that this testing should 
happen now instead of later. Raspberry Pi did a first trial run in a 
test chamber and will have a detailed technical update for us in the 
next few days. It is still too early to say what this will mean for 
deliveries and we hope any impact will be minimal. The first batch of 
boards are due to arrive in the UK this week. We are working closely 
with the guys from the Raspberry Pi Foundation to understand how this 
compliance testing will impact delivery dates for our customers and the 
impact, if any, on future orders that were originally expected to be 
delivered in April, May and June. We will communicate to all of our 
Raspberry Pi customers in the coming days once the testing is underway 
and we have a clearer picture. To view the full raspberry Pi update by

Sounds suspicious. You'll get the result immidiately when you do the
test, so they would have wrote "success", and you can even try to fix it
on the spot, e.g. adding ferrite rings, if it failed. Maybe the test
failed and now they are thinking about how to say it to the customers or
how to implement workarounds?

Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply
indicates you are not using the right tools...

IMHO Too many "problems", and too many "excuses". Next the bloody
container will fall off the ship while in transit or something  and
there will be another "delay".

I have seen similar situations in the past where everything
conveniently goes wrong and continues to go wrong.
