Do you think we will hear more about this once it's "in Production"?

Just read this at http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/02/24/linaro-12-02-release-with-kernel-3-3-rc/
Linaro has just released version 12.02 based on Linux Kernel 3.3-rc and Android 4.0.3.
Among the key points, they have started to work on Freescale i.MX6 SabreLite board, included libav 0.8 to Ubuntu images which provides up to 160% performance improvement while playing real-media videos and XBMC is available via PPA.
now if only I knew what PPA was?

LVDS? Does that mean we can resurrect some screens from dead laptops?

I'll be attending a Linux workshop on the i.MX SABRE Lite board

I am hoping to buy a few boards at a discount to prototype an open source media center appliance.
