For those of you that have been waiting patiently (unreasonably so) for the developer boards, we have decided to split the developer boards into two paths. Basically instead of one developer board that serves as the platform for both the R3 (which will officially be called the OSD) and the 442v2, we split them into two separate "developer boards" which are really just first spins of each. Those of you that have pending order will have to decide which boards you want. R3 has ethernet and serial on the main board (and will come with a first shot, clear housing) and the 442v2 has 24bit96KHz audio with connectors to an LCD and HDD and Batt, but no on board ethernet, so you'll need a daughterboard.

with the R3 essentially you are getting a 1st run prototype of the finished product, and you can use it as such. With the 442v2 is more like a developer kit, and it's not useful for much outside of development.
