You are bit hard on Olimex -- to be fair, they release hardware specs, schematics and so on well in advance, and in true 'open hardware' form -- so nothing stops you actually reviewing and/or fixing it if you get a chance! I've used quite a few Olimex boards for pretty serious work project, often as a prototype before we settle on a 'real' hardware to develop, and I've always been very pleased with what I've got. Altho, I haven't bough any of their 'really fancy' boards lately. Disclaimer: I was the one who rewrote and upstreamed the original Mini2440 'friendlyarm' board.
