The Raspberry Pi Foundation just announced the availability of the long awaited camera board.
The camera boards are now available for order! You can buy one fromRS Components or from Premier Farnell/Element14. We’ve been very grateful for your patience as we’ve tweaked and refined things; it’d have been good to get the camera board out to you last month, but we wanted your experience to be as good as possible, and we’ve been working on the software right up until last night.

For such a small device, this has been an enormous project, and a year-long effort for everybody involved. We’re pretty proud of it: we hope you like it!
For the curious minded, there is a small video demonstrating how to get it started.
