They announced the HummingBoard recently. Its specialty is that the outer interface is rpi-compatible, but the cpu and ram can be replaced.
they're not, lauri - thanks for the heads up though. the system i designed is for mass-volume purposes, for where end-users may place the CPU Card in their pockets (without anti-static bags or other physical precautions). the hummingbird design is for engineers who have experience with physical protection of devices, take care of anti-static precautions and so on. so it is very different.
Er... what ? A specially trained engineer was never required to change a RAM module, a CPU or CPU module, or plug an ISA/PCI/AGP/PCIe card on a motherboard.
