if it's about pinout compatibility, I would say great.<br>
but on some of their sentences/phrases, we could almost think<br>
you could run the same "images" (sdcard) or binaries...<br>
from the Raspberry Pi on their "Banana Pi"....<br>

You certainly aren't going to run an unmodified raspberry Pi image on the thing. It's a completely different SoC and will need a different kernel and bootloader.<br>
<br>
Userland binaries that don't depend on Pi specific stuff should run though. I suspect the screenshot I saw of it running pistore is real.<br>
<br>
The page you linked doesn't seem to have any links to actually buy the thing and I saw another page about it at <a href="http://www.bananapi.org/" target="_blank">http://www.bananapi.org/</a> which appears to have buying links but when you actually click them they don't go anywhere. The pictures on the two sites also seem to have slightly different connector arrangements.<br>

<br>
Overall it seems to be being run by a group who haven't quite got their shit together, if I'd designed a system arround the raspberry Pi form factor and then realised I needed more CPU power I might consider it, otherwise i'd probablly go for a product from a vendor who seem more competant.<br>
