A good introduction to the mighty BeagleBoard.
Nothing flashy about that presentation, but it does show what’s most important about the Beagleboard: how amazing it actually is! The OMAP chip really is a magnificent piece of work!
Man this board could be used for a multimedia settop box (DSP for HDTV video processing, and OpenGL ES for graphics and transformations). or even a little game system. i suspect it’s roughly equivalent to PS2 or GameCube hardware in terms of 3D performance. (i’m guessing)
Uh, maybe. I dunno.
You’re not going to run very many PC games on it, anyway.
I don’t run very many PC games on my Wii either. (zero)
Nice. It would be perfect central processor for my robots.
it can be used as a mod chip
that is some serious hardware … my have times changed …
Omg this is your marketing video? you need to get some PR people on this :D
Well this SoC is used in the Pandora.
TI will be at the LinuxTag show in Berlin from June 24-27, 2009 (Stand #114 in Hall 7.2b) talking about their open source projects and other initiatives for the Linux and open source communities.

“this is your marketing video”
no.
2 watts? Jesus.
It’s basically made out of smartphone parts? Is there an arm cortex a9 version yet? Texas instruments’ OMAP is at version 4 now isn’t it (the iphone) ?
That guy has the coolest voice ever.
