Yet they haven't contributed that much to the Odyssey bounty which would make their platforms more desirable should it be open-sourced and ported.

That (and this) doesn't surprise me.
Trevor has admitted candidly in the past that he did not want to cater to Acube's lower end market.

Intentionally obfuscate much?

No, Acube just sells the Minimig.

Any details on that?  Extra RAM and a built in ARM Controller would be ideal.
