Yep absolutely, have been wondering about the C1, my only concern is that getting OpenCV and some of the supporting libraries to build on the Pi was a big challenge but doable because there's such a large community to help out. The same was true with WiFi and Camera drivers. So the C1 and related boards look great but I'm cautious of building around something with a smaller community just because of the potential for it taking far longer to troubleshoot the underlying stuff I need setup to work on the actual project. That said I'm pretty sure I'll succumb to a c1 in the next couple of months!
