The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing, browsing the internet and games.
The Raspberry Pi is a neat little ARM SoC (System on a Chip) based computer that runs Linux and a growing number of small/embedded operating systems. There is a $25 model A with 256MB of RAM and one USB port. There is a $35 Model B that has 512MB of RAM, 2 USB ports, and a 10/100 ethernet port. The Pi runs Debian Linux from an SD card and provides a full desktop environment.
