I am worried about the openness of this hardware. They say the
following on their wiki[1]:

"* GPU core: [...] Raspberry Pi team are looking at how they can make
some of the proprietary features available to application programmers
 * DSP core: There is a DSP, but there isn't currently a public API"

So it is not quite a fully open platform. Sounds similar to the
Freerunner's Glamo chip features.
