OLinuXino, a serious Rasberry Pi competitor?

After talks at the recent Embedded conference in Germany (2012), Olimex 
decided to go ahead with the production of two new boards that were very 
similar to the Rasberry Pi. The first one they should have prototypes in 
the coming weeks.

The second will be 3 to 6 months before production boards will be seen, 
so I won't cover it in this report, however the CPU specs on this second 
board, are almost identical to the RPi microcontroller chip, and board.

Olimex describes this board as a bridge to the linux development 
community and the Duinomite/Arduino/Maple/Pinguino world of developers.

This will be completely Open Hardware / Open Source Project, all CAD 
files will be available so everyone can download modify, and use them. 
Same with the software.
