Remains of the Day: Raspberry Pi Makes a Slimmed Down "Model A"

A slimmed-down Raspberry Pi goes on sale in Europe, FreedomPop upgrades to LTE, Wine may be coming to Android, and the App Store now offers vanity URLs.

• Raspberry Pi Model A Hits Europe With $25 Price Tag, Expected Worldwide Soon The stripped-down Model A Raspberry Pi is now available in Europe for $25. Model A doesn't have an ethernet port and only has 256 MB of RAM, but also uses one-third of Model B's power consumption and is ideal for battery/solar powered devices. Model A will soon be available worldwide, and US customers can place their orders now. [Engadget]
• FreedomPop Plans 'LTE Clip' To Give Free LTE To iPad, Android Tablets FreedomPop, the free wireless internet provider that we really dig, is planning to upgrade to LTE and release clip that will provide free 4G internet to Wi-Fi only tablets. Essentially a mobile hotspot designed to attach to tablets, the service will be similar to FreedomPop's other devices and offer 500 MB of data per month with the option to pay for more. [Forbes]
• Wine On Android Is Coming For Running Windows Apps Last weekend at the Free and Open source Software Developer's European Meeting, Wine developer Alexandre Julliard was seen demonstrating Wine on Android. While the demo was slow and not without issues, it's possible that a future version of the app will allow users to run Windows apps in Android just like they can in Linux or OS X. [Phoronix]
• Creating Easy-to-Read Short Links to the App Store For Your Apps and Company iOS developers are now able to create shorter appstore.com links to their apps for URLs that are easier to read and share. When a developer submits their app to the Store, they'll be able to attach the name of their app or company at the end of the appstore.com URL. [iOS Developer Library]
