OK - it's worth us getting some hardware in order to make a build for 
this board. Gurvinder - do you want to get one in?

I feel price point is very critical as reaching people that do not have 
access to computing equipment is high on our agenda.

Equipping a school room for example - the above price difference would 
matter to some who are on very limited budgets.

Raspberry have just announced the production of customised boards for 
OEM's - do you know of anything similar from OlinuXIno?
