Also support for Power over Ethernet with an appropriate plugin module
(I think on the Pi they just exposed the Ethernet pins to a header, but
they will sell a module with the transformer to attach to them)

The SoC is also under a heat spreader, which should make it easier to attach
further heatsinking (though there are no extra holes for that)

Finally, the wifi/BT chip is shielded that apparently means it's acceptable
to the FCC as a radio module, so Pi-enabled products need no further
RF compliance testing.
