As you can see one open source laptop did really good:

more revisions to the interface, these are last-minute just before finalising:
- the revision 2.2 A20 cpu card
- the revision 0.1 ICubeCorp IC1T cpu card
- the revision 0.1 Ingenic JZ4775 cpu card
- the revision 0.1 Micro-Desktop base board
- the revision 3.0 Tablet / Mini-Laptop base board
- also i have received the documents for the quad-core Allwinner A33
so will be starting a CPU card for that with 2GB RAM, shortly.
i will have enough money coming in beginning of this month to send the revision 2.2 A20 CPU Card off to the factory for 5 samples. the revision 0.1 Micro-Desktop will follow very shortly after that.
the IC1T icubecorp found me an SD-based TSOP-48 from a company called FORESEE, which comes in a low-cost 2GB variant. i will add that in (replacing the BGA variant which is 4Gb minimum, requires very small tracks, is more expensive and is making me nervous).
the jz4775 cpu card i had to do a minor shuffle of the I/O lines as there was some I/O multiplexing sharing SPI with MMC so there is a bit more work there.
heck of a lot going on, it is ironic that about four really good CPU cards should all come out pretty much at the same time...
