I'm eyeing them for things like PFDs and the like.  I've got one and 
beyond making an enclosure for it, I just haven't had the time to work 
with it.  I did notice the other day that they've got RiscOS available 
for it for free now.

I've tried running OpenRJ on it, but it appears to use some OpenGL things 
that aren't properly supported in PyGL for the RPi.
