I've looked at the Cubieboard in the past, its an interesting take.
What strikes me though about this, the Pandaboard, the Chumby, Etc, is that one of the effects of the 'post PC' momentum shift is that people who were building general purpose computers have switched to building these things which are tailored more for browsing and content consumption, and perhaps business content (documents, spreadsheets, reports) generation.
That shift has once again opened up the market for a general purpose hobbiest computer. That is pretty refreshing to see.
