The original BegalBoard predated the Raspberry Pi by about 5 years and the gumstix before it. The real difference between all these products is that the price of all the components has come down a lot and the market segments they target.

And the begal board cost a million dollars conaoed to the 3 cents a Raspberry Pi cost. Any of these discussions about what did what first guest that ignore the Pi's price are disingenuous.

      The current iteration of beagleboard costs $48 Raspberry Pi is $40. The beagleboard was never a million dollars it was around $100 at it's introduction.
