I have pre ordered it @ 2750 + shipping from the kitsandspares link that you gave me.
Currently its out of stock but will receive it when in stock.

Same here, I ordered a PI from them yesterday, 4 weeks lead time. I was planning to use it as a low cost pc for a trip abroad, hopefully it will arrive before I leave...

Edit, might as well ask this here

to turn the PI into a full flegded PC do i need anything other than the following

1. HDMI to component cable
2. USB charger
3. USB hub
4. USB flash drive for storage
5. USB KB/Mouse
6. Wifi Dongle

Let me know which Wifi Dongle you intend to purchase.
I thought this had 802.11b/g on board but guess i might have imagined it.

just came across another one .... the always innovating hdmi dongle with a OMAP4 processor , how do you think that one is?

vaibhav , getting the mk802 at 4k locally
 
@kippu
Where? I thought it was not available in india. Anyways, apart from losing it in transit anxiety, got it for around 3500 including shipping insurance, so not such a bad deal. in4dealz has good reviews

if I get charged 15% which is the custom duty for computers in india, it will still be 4000. Lets hope it gets through customs as a pendrive. Let me check if there is a gifting option available, perhaps it may come through without any charges.
