IBM are giving away 1500 Raspberry Pi 3's to 'qualified developers'. This will involve using your work email address to sign up.

No shipping costs, nothing. Get in early, they'll get snapped up pretty quickly.

Enjoy.

      Thanks for the downvote Australia. I'm an IT professional, as is my wife and flatmate. Hence 3 pi were procured.

      • Schema on 19/04/2016 - 18:04

        Oh Well,

        I'm Curious - what time did you receive your "confirmation" email?

        Me - 19 March 2016 at 18:01 So it's been a month as of right now.

        • Salazar on 19/04/2016 - 19:03

          Sorry I can't confirm date of confirmation email. End of the day it's IBM, there is reputation and business on the line here. Anyone that got the 'hey congratulations' email will get a pi I'm sure. Patience. FedEx and sign for delivery.

        • Schema on 19/04/2016 - 19:08

          @Salazar:

          No worries - thanks for the response.

          I totally forgot about this until i saw people commenting, i got the email confirmation.. but am in need of one for work but am hesitant to buy one or wait at this stage..

    Received mine today (Brisbane).

    No idea what I am going to do with it as I really didn't expect to receive it.

  • Rapt0r on 21/04/2016 - 10:34

    Just received mine today (Sydney), delivered to work address

  • frazel on 21/04/2016 - 11:24

    Got mine in Brisbane CBD

  • NosDan on 21/04/2016 - 11:51

    just had Mr Fedex rock up to my door for the second time in SA with a letter explaining that apparently the initial SD cards had some errors so they sent me another 16gb SD card and adapter. so people might want to keep an eye out for a 2nd delivery.

    not that ive used it much so far but the initial card seemed to have worked fine the little ive actually used it.

    this may be why some people said earlier that they didnt receive an sd with theres?

    Just received mine. And tbh, I am definitely part of the target market for this initiative (lead tech decision maker and techie at 1 of aus biggest companies) so kudos to the OP for helping out IBM's marketing dept

    Mine arrived Sydney CBD
    With 16GB card and looks like it has built in bluetooth in addition to wifi, not bad.

  • revolutio on 22/04/2016 - 16:56

    Mine arrived today in Surry Hills. Question is, what are y'all planning to do with it (time machines aside)?

    • Schema on 22/04/2016 - 16:57

      Mine's going to be used with the Pi 7" Screen
      And mount it to my LulzBot 3d Printer i just purchased and install octoprint on it resulting in wireless printing + more

  • Owl on 26/04/2016 - 20:25

    Received mine in Melbourne today :)
    I wasn't expecting it at all. Thought my form wasn't accepted.

    • djbst on 03/05/2016 - 09:37

      Did it come to your work address? I can't remember what i put.

      • Owl on 03/05/2016 - 10:53

        I used a parcel locker address for it.

        • djbst on 03/05/2016 - 11:55

          May be they have not sent me one. Thanks

  • buthidae on 27/04/2016 - 00:10

    Got mine today in Perth. Woot woot! Had completely forgotten about it, didn't even think my form submitted correctly.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/04/2016 - 21:17

      Got mine today too! I wonder if maybe they had extras they sent out? Awesome deal! Thanks OP!

      • NosDan on 27/04/2016 - 21:23

        I wonder if maybe they had extras they sent out?

        considering they originally only had 1500 world wide and it seems that most people on here got one im pretty certain they went way over the original 1500…. which is a pretty awesome win for everyone who got one :)
