I didn't think Arch would run on Arm at all, since according to their website, only x86 and x86_64 are supported, but apparently Raspberry Pie will be supporting ArchLinux as soon as the board is released. As for Speakup, since it is a set of Linux kernel modules, it should compile on Arm with no problem. Also, as far as I know, eSpeak shouldn't have any trouble compiling for Arm either, and this may have already been tested. As far as I know, it runs successfully on most, if not all, Android devices, and a quick Google showd an eSpeak Debian package for the Arm architecture as well. And yes, for $35, I will probably be one of the many of us who will play with this thing. ~Kyle
