Looks like the Easter Bunny delivered something more delicious than eggs this year—the Raspberry Pi Model A is now available for purchase for $25 in the United States.
Allied Electronics, based in Texas, appears to be the first local retailer to sell the cheaper edition to the American market. Nearly two months ago, the Model A finally went on sale in Europe. Sales in Asia followed about a month later. However, for at least a week now, a German electronics shop has been selling the Model A to Americans on eBay for $38.50, and other British eBay sellers are selling combo editions including a case.
The $25 Model A's cost savings comes from skimping on an Ethernet port and including just a single USB port. This means the Model A needs only one-third the power that the Model B requires. (Conceivably, this also implies it's better-suited for solar-powered hobbyist projects.)
