I dropped them an email with some questions:
> 1) How long do you think it will be before the boards become available?
I'd say three or four months. As you can see from the screenshots, we
have usable Linux, but we're waiting to get final versions of the the
chip from our supplier.
> 2) Are there any plans for a version with onboard ethernet?
I don't think we're likely to do onboard Ethernet; we will have an
onboard 3-port USB hub so people can add an external adapter.
> 3) Are there any plans for a version with onboard wifi?
Yes. The final version (though maybe not the first distributables)
will have onboard WiFi (probably 802.11n) in the price point.
> 4) What are the power requirements, both under load and at rest?
At rest I'd say 50mW (we could trim this if it was really important,
but it gets a bit fiddly below this point), under serious load
(original XBox class graphics or 1080p30 H.264), 700mW.
I'm looking at this as a replacement for the Bifferboards [1] I often use in projects, they're similarly priced (£35), but significantly lower specification.

I wonder if this means you actually can power it from HDMI's 5V pin (which is limited to 50mA ie 250mW) for some uses?
