Not sure if you've seen this All Winner A10 board. I've registered Fedora's interest in supporting these boards so please don't bother them as I'll get notified when they have boards to send out for bring up.
Thanks!
It's a much higher spec than the Raspberry Pi (1ghz ARMv7 Cortex-A8 with 1Gb RAM and real SATA) for only a few bucks more and is hardfp so it should be an interesting device (there's a LOT of cheap A10/A13 boards/devices appearing) but it will likely be similar to the Pi in that the kernel is not yet mainline so it'll likely be an out of tree support in the short term. http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/05/cubieboard-for-developers/
I think I mentioned to you (and Brendan) that I think the "Pi" shortly becomes a class of device (like Kleenex is the by-word for any kind of tissue product), and everyone moves to Cortex-A8/A9 based devices like these. Additionally, the All Winner guys are known to be working well with upstream (Arnd told me as we were looking at some recently). I like the Pi, but I'm more enthusiastic about the general concept.
