Evidently it's very new, there's a discussion on Google with the oldest post being about a week old. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!categories/beagleboard/pocketbeagle Github stuff is about 2 weeks old. They claim to have a working Debian image for download. If it's got a host USB port I'll try hooking that into a powered hub, try adding keyboard, mouse, wifi. This may be a more immature product than I like though. The EMI regulatory report was issued less than a month ago. I haven't seen anything on power consumption but I'm guessing pretty low since it's basically a single chip. Needs a bunch of breakout stuff to connect to it to be practical, 2 36-pin headers are where most stuff is.
