"In the six months since we launched Raspberry Pi, we've received a lot of feedback about the original board design. Over the next few weeks, we'll be gradually rolling out a new revision 2.0 PCB which incorporates some of the most popular suggestions." Also: manufactured in the UK.

A discussion thread on the news item about UK manufacturing just caught my eyes. It started with someone mentioning that it was ironical that Sony manufactured such a relatively open-ended device, considering their long history of product lockdown (SonicStage, Memory Stick, BMG rootkit, OtherOS removal...).
But it has occured to me that I have seen few news on such bullshit from Sony recently. To the contrary, they have opened up their phone bootloaders, used MicroSD cards on them, handed the required blobs to Google for Xperia S support in AOSP, and now manufacture RPis...
Have they finally learned something about the importance of geek PR in the modern computing landscape ?
