That was the first thing that came to my mind too.

What kind of hardware specifically were you expecting and what kind of acceleration hardware there is generally available for these kinds of applications?

Well, in the case of the rPi, a swarm of CPU's with large RAM would be nice. Something 'unique' to plug the rPi into, which gives it a bit more oomph.

Well, I suppose this play to put the rPi "platform" everywhere, is to be expected. But I don't really see the appeal in this when there are already multi-core ARM DIMM's to be played with. This is clearly a brand play by the rPi folks, and after all .. why not..
