[App_rpt-users] Raspberry pi status

[Jon Byrne]

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 in hand now so happy to do any tests I will see
what I can get together myself but if anyone has already tried on the RPi
one and has any notes let me know.

Additionally on the point that they are not availible in any quantity they
have sold 150,000 ish already, thats is just over 48 hours and they are
making 20,000 a day so I suspect that they will have surpassed the BBB on
that front if not already.

That being said obviously Dougs comments about the ethernet & usb are
potentially a stumbling block but I think its worth a try.
