| PoE Daughter card Option? |

By the looks of it the Pine64 boards don't support this, but I wanted to bring it up in discussion.
Have you guys thought about having the Pine64 boards be able to interface with a PoE 802.3af/at daughter card?
My hope would be that if the cost of the board can stay roughly the same, but be able to interface with a PoE 802.3af/at daughter card for those interested, this would greatly increase the board's versatility.
I for one would absolutely love this.

By the looks of it, the Pine64 boards don't support Optical SPDIF via the 3.5mm Jack, only SPDIF via the 'euler' bus connector. Is this correct?
The low-cost "Chromecast Audio" device supports optical SPDIF via its 3.5mm jack, so my thought is that the physical component isn't too expensive (if you can find the source for it). It would be nice to have/tout SPDIF support without having to create a daughter card.
What are your thoughts?

What interface type is being used for the WiFi + Bluetooth card? Is it only intended to work with Pine64 manufactured cards, or also 3rd-party cards?
With the Pine64 board having 4K video support, it would be preferable to me to have an 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0 BLE option.
For others, Zigbee, 6LoWPAN, AM/FM/DAB etc. might be preferable. What other radios might be possible/will be available?

I sent this to the kickstarter email as well but please consider doing this with POE. this box would be perfect for a bunch of wired network connected stuff and the ability to power them from the ethernet switches without individual power supplies would be fantastic (and something that the Pi guys have not done)
PoE is not that hard to do and would save people who have powered switches a lot of headache running both Cat5/6 wires and the little USB dongles to power the thing.

Can you provide some addition details on the upcoming 7inch touch display such as:
- Capacitive or Resistive Touch?
- TN or IPS?
- Transmissive / Reflective / Transflective?
- Viewing Angle?
- PPI (pixel density)?
- DSI / LVDS or HDMI interface?
- 18bit / 24bit color?
- Refresh Rate?
- etc..
Maybe just a link to the data sheet would be best.
Thanks,
-MG

How about developing software for the board?
I'm curious if the board would be any good for system development and prototyping. Most of the site focuses on "end user" applications and systems, while I'm only interested in the board as a basis for combined hardware/software development. A few detailed questions that come to mind here:
Can I get the sources for the images and compile them myself?
Is there support for Yocto and OpenEmbedded?
If I configure and build my own mainline kernel for this board, will I still be able to decode video in hardware?
