I understand the current BeagleBoard is not intended for use in
production devices. Will this change with the XM?
The feature set of the XM (assuming 10" a touch LCD can be added) is a
match for my requirements (Integrated Ethernet), and it would be
interesting to use the board as a component in systems sold by my
company.
None of the beagle boards are to be used in end products. Now, as always, the desing material is freely available and if you choose to build it yourself with your name on it for use in a product, then that is fine.
