It's "just" another ARM SoC.  The BeagleBoard is a competitive product
from TI -- a bit more powerful, a bit more expensive ($150 with DVI,
audio, and more peripherals).  The Gumstix are a previous generation, up
to 400 MHz and in the same $100-$200 price range.

So this isn't exactly a groundbreaking product.  It's nice, but we've
been here for a while.  Good of Marvell to join us. :)
