    I'm planning to hit the NYC Maker Faire event this saturday (and hope to see the Udoo running "in the flesh" as well!)

    Anybody else going? I'm going to be driving up from Philadelphia early Saturday and probably will leave shortly after the Raspberry Pi presentation from 4:00-4:30.

    Got to see it today, and spoke with the Udoo guys...

    A couple interesting tidbits of info...

    1) They're planning to start shipping them this coming week, or the week after.

    2) They're also working on some sort of voltage conversion shield for the Arduino portion for those of us who want/need 5V pins.

    3) One of the guys mentioned the desire to find a combination Wifi/Bluetooth module, rather than having to do the Bluetooth via USB.

    4) It's pretty small!

    Thanks for the update mkopack!

    Great to hear that the shipping will start soon:D just have to wait about one week longer before it arrives here in EU I guess XD
    And a combination wifi/bluetooth module would be great!

    I would like to have gone, but just too expensive.
