 one of the key goals is to reduce the cost of ownership of the main
part of a portable modular computer because you can just go down to
the local shop, buy an off-the-shelf CPU Card and then use that as the
basis for a cool electronics project.... but then when you're done
with that go and sell it on ebay to grandma or a teenager for them to
put android back on it and use it to run their laptop, tablet or their
TV.  you cannot tell me that this is even a remote possibility for
SOMs.
