If you read my original comment, I did point out the $25 price tag was
pretty much the only interesting thing. Now, what it has been designed
for, multimedia, is going to be handled by a closed-source binary blob
without datasheet, so let me turn back the question: what do you
expect doing with it ?

FreeBSD on ARMv7 (ie. Cortex A[89]), rather than any previous, but the
effort is clearly not the same.
