it was announced on linux devices :
http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Calao-Systems-Snowball/
but as you can see on their "community" site there are not much news since 
this date : http://www.igloocommunity.org/

If you want to pay for an "open" board to become a "free" beta tester for an 
other phone/tablet cpu manufacturer you can also wait for 
http://www.origenboard.org/

Next one in the list may be using an iMX6 from Freescale (in the page, this 
one is said to also target industrial applications and not only phones/tablets) :

which will surely have its equivalent of the i.MX53's QSB :
