It's the brainchild of David Braben; he's one of the guys (the other being Ian Bell) who fitted the original version of Elite into a 32K BBC Micro, and his goal is to make it easier for young people in poorer regions of the world to have access to a full-blown computer. They will be distributed around the world through a new charity, the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
No word yet on an Elite port, but it's an ARM processor with OpenGL ES 2.0 support (same as the iPhone 3GS) so that shouldn't be too hard
