Ok ... so it is a very similar chip with Quad-core ARMv7 replacing the single 
core ARMv6, with the rest of the chip apparently left unchanged ... so same USB 
and same graphics, more CPU for audio and a desktop, still less than half the 
price of an Udoo.

Not much docs up yet at all, but there are images for a few systems ... kind of 
typical.

And the move to ARMv7 takes it closer to current hardware, so for example there 
isn't the same need to build raspbian as a half-way house between 2 debian 
builds ... for now they say they are keeping the same user-space in both 
raspbian builds and seem to have compatibility high on their agenda.

Has anyone here actually got one yet?
