Yes. Youtube has a bunch of videos on this board. The basic dev kit runs
Android but I thought it

Uh, and I should also point out the promising work on an open-source GPU

Okay, thanks.

You can't drive it directly because its specs aren't public. If you
use its closed-source Linux driver, you can of course use OpenGL.

The Squeak VM used in the new OLPC machine should work just fine on this
board on top of one of the Linuxes that have already been tested on it.

Squeak and Scratch already run on it, can be loaded from the debian
repositories.
The VM is not Cog, but maybe

It's a little more useful than a normal Linux system. It's small, low power
ie. Battery/solar operable, a standardised platform and has accessable
gpio. As such it's a fixed target driver-wise, and you can interface Frank
with the outside world easily eg. UAV design - LOGO turtle on steroids.
