User reviews and comments
Correcting model name, adding "B". Currently there is only one model, it is model B.
@Alexis thanks for contributing. Working on cleaning up a few things, just having trouble editing certain table entries and updating per authoritative sources (i.e. proper wiki for BBB)
This comparison is presently a work in progress. please help fill in the beagleboard details. Both are worth considering but which is best will vary depending upon your needs.
