Don't forget this board, too !
http://beagleboard.org/
It uses a TI Arm chip that you can actually get full documentation for !
Try that with the Broadcom chip that is on the rPi ! It's proprietary.
I tend to use products that I can get full information on.
I ~think~ it can do about anything a rPi can do. Not 100% sure yet.

plus much more
pretty LOW power.... 5V 1amp (max) Li battery
Yeah I agree with Raspberry-Pi limitations, vendors source only from UK & the use of propriety firmware and closed binaries in its chipset
but it has seem to have critical mass in the marketplace.
Im waiting for the new Arduino DUE using ARM cortex chipset..to get some traction ?

I won't use it if it uses an Atmel ARM chip.
Maybe another companies' ARM chip though.
