I think it's clear that a BBW is capable, but it would be cheaper to get an atom at this point in time. There are no low-cost i/o interfaces. The BeBoPr is really nice, but it costs about the same as an Atom computer. This could change at any time, but right now it would be much faster and cost less to get an Atom. A BBB would be ideal if space is an issue, which it always is. But it's still a work in progress, whereas an atom would be ready to go.
