Re: OpenMV
OpenMV and the Jetson are not even remotely comparable. For one thing, the Jetson TK1 is actually available. Last I heard, OpenMV was struggling with manufacturer problems with bad solderballs on one of their chips, never mind shipping product out to their initial investors (kickstarter). It'll be a while yet before they even could consider shipping product on the scale they'd need to to be in a kit of parts.
On top of that, OpenMV and Jetson serve different purposes. OpenMV is specialized for machine vision, as the name would indicate. I've seen some demos of it, and it's actually pretty impressive what they can do with so little processing power, but you can't do anything else with it. The Jetson is pretty much a full computer in terms of processing power and you can have it do a lot more. I know some universities have gotten 20 or 30 of the things and made small clusters of them.
