Thanks Michael. Last I heard, the Raspberry PI now has GPIO pins (it didn't in the original plans). And pins or not, the pads were always there.
The biggest difference is you can buy a BeagleBone today but Raspberry PIs are still hard to come by. Also the specs are slightly different. I think the beaglebone is a newer arm variant so it's easier to port software to it. The Raspberry PI has hdmi built-in and a very powerful GPU capable of 1080p.
