Pros
Pro Extendable hardware
There are 92 expansion pins, with 46-pin female connectors on both sides of the board with other 6 serial pins to be used for debugging.
Pro On board storage
Has on board integrated storage of 4GB. It can also have an SD card in addition to the integrated storage and can boot from either of them.
Pro Programmable Real Time Units with GPIO control
Real-time coprocessors allow for embedded systems control and bit-banging communication
Pro Analog Inputs
There are 7 1.8V analog inputs.
Pro Responsive, helpful online community
Pro Easy of use
It hosts a web service over USB so it is super simple to get started with plenty of source code and examples available.
Pro Pretty user-friendly
Even though it is quite powerful and may seem a little scary at first, the Udoo is actually really user-friendly. After hooking it up with a monitor, keyboard and mouse, it's already configured with either Ubuntu or Android and you don't need to do anything more in order to use it as a simple PC for day-to-day use.
Pro Built-in WiFi
The Udoo has a built-in Wifi module. There's no need to buy and use a separate WiFi card.
Pro Arduino hybrid
The Udoo has a separate ARM Cortex-M3 CPU which is the same found on the Arduino Due in addition to its other ARM i.MX6 Freescale CPU which runs either Linux or Android. Making the Udoo perfect for hybrid projects that need both Linux and Arduino capabilities.
Cons
Con Only one USB available for peripherals
There's only one USB port available for peripherals, which is a bit annoying considering how two USB ports is a minimum to have a keyboard and a mouse hooked up without having to use a powered USB hub.
Con Lack of a proper OpenGL driver
It sounds like the driver is possible, but the information is spread out over forums and GitHub.
Con No SATA port
Con Official images are not full distributions
Both Android and Ubuntu images lack some useful software which would be installed out-of-the-box for most Android or Linux devices. For example in Android it lacks the Play Store app and other Google apps. These can of course be installed but need to be done so manually (at least the Play Store) by flashing them from the SD card.
