Since its launch back in February, production of the RaspberryPi mini-computer, which aims to bring programming knowledge into the British curriculum, has ramped up to 4,000 units per day, with over 20,000 units currently shipped.
It's not just sales that are going strong for the £30 device, software development is still progressing at an impressive speed and, earlier this week, it was announced that Android 4.0.3 will be heading to the little piece of kit, featuring full video acceleration, in the near future.
Android 4.0 ICS is a perfect pairing for the RaspberryPi, as, whilst the Pi is a little light on CPU power, featuring a 700MHz ARM 11, it has excellent graphical prowess - in-line with the performance of an iPad 2 and so, with Android 4.0, the device should be able to maintain a fairly responsive interface, in fact, take a look for yourselves.
Work is still ongoing to bring support for AudioFlinger, Android's native audio system, however, all the other major pieces of the puzzle are now in place. If decent APIs providing access to I/O, interfaces and the camera port can be exposed, expect to see some interesting hobbyist projects crop-up in the near future.
