I was surprised that they said worldwide shipping and launch before and yet only have european stores, I mean at least one on this side of the ocean would have been nice.

I'm just guessing that $35 or later $25 is cheaper than any computer you could theoretically give someone to practice basic programming with python on. I mean it's basically cheaper than a textbook. Plus I'm pretty sure their initial "for education" meant for teachers/the classroom and that later versions with cases would be meant for student distribution.

As for why people want them, probably because even taking a few of these to perform basic functions they will take way less room than other computers. HTPCs, Carputers, simple servers, I'm guessing someone will find a way to shove a minecraft server onto them. Low powered linux computers are still typically old hardware repurposed like laptops, netbooks, etc. and those things are huge and power hungry compared to this little thing.
