I think what could be of value in this space is a large open source display that could have an existing board attached to the back of it. Something that turns an SBC into a desktop. I think they would get tonnes of customers for such a device, even those people using other SBCs.
To really get Pine's interest though I think it would need to offer other features (the ability for the community to hack on it), such as the webcam you suggest, touch screen, port extension, speakers, WiFi + antenna, etc.
Still as I suggested before, I think manufacturing is by far the largest hurdle right now - even if Pine did want to take up this project idea. I believe they currently look to condense their product line rather than expand it.
Dell just made an "All in one" without monitor.
Or if you prefer giving the user the capability of choosing almost any monitor.
Wouldn't it be great something like that for Pine and other SBCs?
I think it would be, and it is not so difficult, - and perhaps I am not right -
