Arduino Uno R3 SMD Edition
Faster, smarter, better- the brand new Arduino Uno is here.
Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The open-source IDE can be downloaded for free (currently for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux).
This is the new Arduino Uno. In addition to all the features of the previous board, the Uno now uses an ATmega8U2 instead of the FTDI chip. This allows for faster transfer rates, no drivers needed for Linux or Mac (inf file for Windows is needed), and the ability to have the Uno show up as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.

Special SMD Version: Because Atmel is moving more and more of their production capacity to surface mount ICs, the DIP packaged ATmega328 is becoming more and more difficult to get. To keep up with demand, we now offer the Arduino Uno with an SMD ATmega328. The board is identical to the PTH version of the Uno, but you won't be able to remove the ATmega328 without some hot-air. This change shouldn't affect most users. Besides - when was the last time you managed to destroy an ATmega328 and needed to repair an Arduino board? Those things are nearly indestructible.

hmmm
what would you use this for?

Uses Of Arduino
Hello Antony,
Arduino is a general purpose I/O board. An example of input would be a temperature sensor, an example of an output would be a relay. In this example application, the Arduino could be programmed as a computerised temperature controller. This is but one application of the Arduino, others would include: Robots, Embedded Electronics, Web Devices via Ethernet Shield, etc.
A range of completed projects can be found on the Arduino Forums here:

Hope that helps,
Chris
how fast is its digital I/O?
how fast is its digital I/O in Mhz?

Clock Speed
Hi Jonathon, the clock speed of the Atmel Chip on board is 12mhz.
wi-fi interfacing
hi,
I'm trying to interface a camera and a wifi shield to an arduino uno board. can anyone suggest me a cheapest wi-fi board that can be interfaced with arduino uno.
please send your suggestions to bunty1988@gmail.com....
