No, I don't disagree that there are better solutions out there for the money, but my interest here lies more with the fact that it's OMAP (so a lot of effort put in this could translate nicely to future NITs) and the hacker-aspects involved with it.

It's certainly not the best of anything, but x86 stuff is a dime-a-dozen and not all that interesting in the NIT context.
