Arduino [1] or Genuino compatibility would be great. Be it existing shield or 'cape' compatability. I believe Raspberry Pi has a similar thing as well.

The GPU is buildin, and requires reverse engineering

Woah! definitely interested.
If you can manage to make it $50 exactly, (or at least not hit $60) and make it twice as powerful as the Pi, even the SAME power as the Pi, I (and plenty of people who don't even know about software freedom) would definitely get some.
And if you throw a pin bus in there with latency/bus speed similar to the Arduino, then doubly so - its two DIY boards in one!
