The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.

Lots of Kickstarter projects surrounding it, too.

I can see people using it to stream video to their TV, since there will be many tiny enclosures created for it.
