Yet another #Raspberrypi CM module you wont be able to buy.
#CM5
Every year, they do this. Christmas is only four weeks away, and it's an ideal gift for yourself or your geek friend. All the 'influencers' are raving about it, and yet again, it's on pre-order. Do me a favour, Pi Foundation, and announce new stuff in the spring so you can have stock on the shelves by winter.

-as you're already there you may look something more and buy it
-return weeks/months later when they have the module and buy it

in reply to dick_turpin • •Oh, I fully understand the technique. It's about raising desire. Many moons ago, when I was selling mobile phones, the ones that you had to carry the battery around in a suitcase. There was a ploy of handing the prospect the phone and letting them fondle it for a few minutes, and then I'd reach across and almost snatch it from their hands. You'd be amazed at their response, it was like you'd taken something from them and they wanted it back even though they didn't own it. You could see it in their eyes. I'd mess for a few seconds and hand it back, then hit them with the price. 99% of the time, they'd sign right away in case you snatched it from them again, even though I was going to because they hadn't bought my demo phone.
I think the Pi Foundation should do what most of the mobile guys do: talk about it, loan out a few presale models and then announce a release date.
