Yes, looks like this just started today, so it's reasonable.

#7Just asking to those with more knowledge than me. How is this any different to a RaspberryPi or a Beagle Bone Black?

The RaspberryPi is supposed to be a computer you can use like a regular one. Rex seems to have a dual role: It's designed to control a robot (lots of pins and extension boards) and to act as a general purpose computer. So it sits somewhere between an Arduino and a RasPi.

#10I wonder how much power it drains. The RaspPi uses "only" 3 Watt, but that is a way too much for many interesting applications. There are some hacks to reduce to the power usage (by replacing the voltage regulators for example) but i wonder how much this board will use.
