I am not sure if this counts as a first unboxing, but I thought I would share it with you all anyway.

I was extremely lucky to be one of the Element14 Road Test winners and this morning and was very surprised and excited to receive a box from Farnell/Element14 via UPS.

I should say that it did come with a disclaimer that says it is an R&D Prototype and that it is not necessarily in the form that the final, finished product will be made available. I guess that is in case any changes are required as a consequence of the compliance testing.

At the risk of being deluged with questions that I cannot answer yet, or hate mail from the angry and frustrated (please don't hate me) I thought I would share a few pics before I get back to my day job.

Sorry, I just had to rip the box open before I got the camera out.

It really is very neat and small, but the really exciting part should hopefully come this evening when I get chance to power it up!

Here it is inside my first box. It is a plastic business card box that has now been recycled and put to a better use. This really brings home to me how small the R-Pi really is.

I still have to cut the holes when I get time.

I have a lot to learn and a lot of work before my Road Test Review, but I hope you like the pics...
