I can't find many details about this little board.

It is the OMAP5 CPU (Dual Core Cortex A15) board designed for the Pyra Handheld, but offered separately.
The special thing is that it is not only a replacement part, but gets support by an evaluation version that can be operated stand-alone.
And a blueprint design file (EAGLE) will be available with proper placement of the connectors for some to-be-designed motherboard. For simple applications a 2-layer board will suffice and 4-layers should be enough for everything.

I think it has a lot of potential. Are there any specs on this?

Will there be additional boards available when the Pyra goes to full manufacturing run?
</blockquote>
Yes, they will be diverted from Pyra mass production.
So availability is strongly connected.
