Default Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a cheap single board computer manufactured for educational purposes [http://www.raspberrypi.org/]. I'm thinking of ordering one myself but I wanted to check if anyone here has any experience.

So, any CPers getting down on the Pi?

If so, some followup:

Where did you procure it?
How long did it take to arrive?
Are there any important accessories I should think about? Are the micro USB cord and memory included?

So far the only distributor I've found in North America is an American Company called Allied Electronics [http://www.alliedelec.com/lp/120626raso/]. It appears that the wait is several months at this point, and I've read it can be even longer. I wouldn't mind picking one up somewhere else for $10 or $20 more if it meant quicker delivery.

Thoughts?
