Probably easier to develop on:
http://www.embeddedarm.com/products/board-detail.php?product=TS-7800
The NAND annoyingly is not via the SoC and there are a few other quirks
however as you can boot off the SD card (making it unbrickable and dead
easy to play with kernel dev work), it has real serial ports where you
do not have to faff with to get them and of course the SATA ports.
It would be as good if not better than the Joe Public devices.
