I picked up a Model B from Amazon earlier this month, here in the US. I have been really impressed with it, even though I paid ~$48. Very impressive device in such a little package. I used mine to make a WiFi garage door opener with node.js backend and iOS app to open our garage doors from our phone. So many more projects in mind.

Shameless plus as I just wrote a post about my project this weekend. http://itsbrent.net/2013/03/hacking-my-garage-with-a-raspber...
