That’s pretty cheap considering the price point of past expansion boards and the extreme utility of the Summit. Now, I’m curious as to when we’ll see a production Overo with on-board WiFi and Bluetooth. I don’t know about you but I’m excited!

The Gumstix Overo board has entered of will soon be entering beta. The Overo Documentation on the Gumstix Developer site is an incredible treat for those of us who’ve been salivating over this piece of kit since it was first stubbed on Wikipedia. Also, the Overo Users mailing list appears to setup and ready to go.

With a TI OMAP 3503, 128MB DDR RAM, 256MB NAND Flash, microSD slot, BlueTooth, and WiFi stuffed right onto the motherboard, that’s one hell of a computing package for the size.

Update: Other sites have name the processor as a TI OMAP 3530 as opposed to the 3503. More reading below:
