The team behind the pocket-sized Raspberry Pi computer is opening its first high street store in the city where it was invented.
In a move bucking the online retail trend, the company will open an "experimental space" in Cambridge.
The firm will also now offer a new starter kit of parts - to accompany the popular tiny computer.
Founder Eben Upton said he hoped the shop would attract customers who were "curious" about the brand.
The store opens in Cambridge's Grand Arcade shopping centre on Thursday.
It will offer merchandise and advice on the use of the popular computer, which measures 3.4in by 2.1in (8.6cm by 5.3cm) and is designed to encourage people to try coding and programming.
The story does not mention if the street address was 314 something something.

The Touchbook has been out of production since 2011 and the OpenPandora out of production since 2013. Apparently there's a successor to the OpenPandora, but it's on pre-order currently for $500+ Euros. I can roll my own for significantly less dosh.

I assume you mean the Dragonbox Pyra, which I've posted about here before. https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/ [pyra-handheld.com]
I challenge the assertion that you can make one for cheaper. 3 custom PCBs and all the supporting components? A nice high resolution LCD? Custom case moulds? Supporting software? Even if you're just remixing TI's reference designs you have a significant amount of work there. I'd love to see more competition in this space though. The Cosmo and the Gemini are quite lacking, and the Pyra is, as you say, not available yet. As soon as a decent open-source, clamshell mini computer is released, with a hardware keyboard, I for one will be flinging money at it.

If you are okay with Intel and poor linux support, there are also the GPD devices (Win/Pocket) and One Mix Yoga line of what would have been called UMPCs in the past.
