Title: New Raspberry Pi Model
Post by: mvolke1 on October 23, 2014, 11:58:42 am: There's a B+ now, with four USB sockets and some other improvements. This is just making our lives easier.

The palm pre came out in 09 and I think they both use the same CPU.

Model A Model B
Model B+ Model A+

So that is where we are now, and will be soon.

I predict, there will be a RasPi 2, and a RasPi 2+ for the next tic toc cycle.

PS I was wrong about it being the same CPU in the pre.

I read somewhere today that this isn't the 2.0 that everyone is hoping for, but finishing an idea. I went back to look for it, but couldn't find it.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages.......I'm just glad they "fixed" the ports sticking out from all sides of the Pi. But I've had WAY better luck with stability on the BBB.

The B+ isn't new -- and that article wasn't about the B+, it was about the new display.
