The BeagleBoard-X15 is the first BeagleBoard.org SBC to fully support Android, which will be offered along with Debian and Ubuntu images. The SBC is said to support applications including, robotics, media centers, interactive art, machine vision, home security and industrial automation. BeagleBoard.org also notes that the PRU subsystem “provides the ability to create software-defined peripherals and extreme low-latency response to events such as sensing and responding to wind gusts around a quad-copter.”

No mention of firewall capabilities. But it includes Debian and Ubuntu, also while being able to run Android.

A few mentioned potential uses are for media centers. XBMC comes to mind.

Yeah, but you can run XBMC / Kodi on a friggin Roku stick... why pay $249 for that?
