Can you believe that the Raspberry Pi got smaller and cheaper?! The new Raspberry Pi Zero is an super-ultra-low-cost, tiny-small-form-factor Raspberry Pi!
Raspberry Pi Zero Details:
BCM2835 (same as Pi 1) but up-clocked to 1GHz, so 40% faster
512MB of RAM
micro-SD Slot
mini-HDMI
micro-USB for data
micro-USB for power
unpopulated 40-pin GPIO connector (same pinout as A+/B+/2B)
Size is 65mmx30mmx5mm
If it has sold out already I nearly bought another (1 per person) at https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero
I trusted them, FWIW, but they do add the £2.50 shipping at the very end.

Or £5.99 for this months edition of MagPi magazine and this comes as a free gift. Forget the "cover disk", they just did the first "cover computer"..

W H Smith's always seem to stock the MagPi, you may also find in larger supermarkets. Just ordered two of these from 'The PiHut', it's worthwhile paying an additional £1 for the 'Essential Zero Kit' from the which also includes:
4 x Rubber Feet (To protect your Raspberry Pi Zero)
1 x MiniHDMI > HDMI adapter (to allow the use of standard HDMI cables)
1 x MicroUSB > USB adapter (to allow the use of standard USB devices)
2 x Single row, 20 pin GPIO headers
1 x Dual row, 40 pin female GPIO header
1 x Dual row, 40 pin right-angled GPIO header
1 x Dual row, 40 pin GPIO header
Will be trotting down to get a copy of the MagPi to get a third, happy to support this project - a computer for £5!!!
EDIT: Just realised the Essentials kit doesn't include the Pi Zero boards. The board plus Zero kit is £10. Still a bargain IMHO!

I asked in my local WH Smiths as they only had issue 39 out who then rang head office to find out when they were getting stock. She was told that the new one that comes with the Pi has been recalled today. This was in the Crewe branch so if you're heading to a WH Smiths with stock and this info was correct - i'd hurry up before they take them off the shelf.

When you go to the (pihut.com) website from the deal's link, the Essential Kit is priced at £6. That's more than the board itself.
Just the Pi Zero comes to £4 but choosing (or rather, failing to deselect) the Essential Kit gives a cost of £10. As for £6 for an 8GB Micro-SD .....

Cheaper to buy the MagPi to get a Zero, if you order online you pay £4 + £2.50 shipping = £6.50

Site shows £16 until you take off the "Essentials kit" and "SDCard" then it becomes £4. Wow!! (Plus P&P). This looks great.

Where is the essentials kit only £1 extra? It costs £6 at PiHut, so £10 including the Pi?
