Yet another ARM Cortex board ... The pcDuino com ... getting one to see how compares with the Rpi ...
Atr least I didn't have to wake up in wee hours like a year ago to get one.

I've the Wandboard Quad on the bench, worked out of the box !
Added the WiFi antenna, few minutes configuration via the ubuntu system settings, and joined my WiFi network without a glitch.
Very, very impressed with the quality of video, even playing videos through vnc. Nicely done. Blog article coming soon ...

Selsinork,
I believe only the quad has a heatsink, didn't measure it but just running the operating system with a graphics session on the console via HDMI, wireless keyboard/touchpad and another X server for remote VNC access it feels slightly warm.
I had it up and running for over a week without a glitch so I finally decided to give a permanent spot in the lab, so I've got the enclosure ($9 and better stuff than what you get for the same money for the Rpi) and has been up for over 3 days now.
One con about the enclosure is that you lose access to the microSD on the processor board, but you still have accesible the socket on the carrier board which I'm planning to use for a separate /home filesystem. Didn't try yet to use the SATA interface.
Here are some pics of the board in its enclosure.
Very tempted to get another but the Solo model for another project.
Cheers
