Arduino Uno assembled in US now available in the Store
We are proud to share with you the link to purchase the first batch of Arduino Uno ($24.95) assembled in US by Adafruit and created by #TeamArduinoCC.
The partnership started last May when Massimo announced it during Maker Faire San Mateo. Right after our team at Arduino and Adafruit team did all the best they could the make it happen on July the 4th, Independence Day! Now, it’s real! Arduino Uno can be back in your hands allowing you to create amazing interactive projects and, at the same time, supporting the open source community!

If you take a close look at the back of the board, you’ll find the “Assembled in USA” tag and also the new Genuino logo, Arduino sister-brand. We are adding the Genuino logo to make it easier for the Arduino community to spot original boards and we are going to include this logo to all genuine Arduino boards from now on (like we did for the recently-released Arduino Zero).

@Osqui:
yes, we decided to not populate the Atmega16U2 ISP header in this batch. The reason is because we ship the Atmega16U2 with a DFU bootloader that enables you to load a new firmware simply via the USB port.
If you need to program the Atmega16U2 using an external AVR-ISP programmer you can solder the header later.
We are open to feedback from the community. Can you please show me the reason why you’d prefer having it mounted?

Thanks for your interest, Federico.
Well, a reason could be using this project, for instance: https://github.com/NicoHood/HoodLoader2 or simply repairing a wrong firmware (like is explained here: https://github.com/leocadiotine/Dvorany/wiki/Resetting-your-Uno-R3%27s-default-firmware)
