Hi Jan,

Besides the experimental RPi, there's support for Pandaboards. It's old
(ICS), but available right now in the official repos.

You're asking on dev-b2g, what else than *yes* do you expect? ;)

More seriously, I can definately see some potential. Combining things
like GPIO with Bluetooth LE and NFC on a single platform, and making it
hackable from JavaScript could appeal to the consumer-oriented markets;
such as home automation or consumer devices.

Best regards
