A comment on Hackaday says it all about this board.

this is a Chinese PCBA meant for use in cheap tablets. It’s not open source, nor will there be any more once the supply dries up. A good bargain while they last, but, hardly competition for the Pi.

I have a Pi and it's pretty cool. Here is a vid of me pulling up FreeRepublic on the Pi.

Any shortcomings with it? Does it include gpsd? Or is that something that would have to be built for it?

I don't know if you roll your own software or not, but if you do, how are the tools? Which gcc?

I've done some ARM bare-board work back when they first came out, 2.14 kernel I think, and I had to hand-roll a LOT of stuff. Sorry for all the questions, but I've wanted to quiz someone that has one.
