Tried to add ARM support but I can't code assembly blind, I need a platform to iterate on or there is no hope, any way I can score a cheap one?
Depends on what you consider cheap. You can get a BeagleBoard or Freescale i.MX5/6 for ~$150 USD. Of course there is a Raspberry Pi board for about $35 USD (if they are not sold out). Plus, there are several Chinese USB-stick style platforms for ~$60 USD. I've only had experience with the BeagleBoard and Freescale parts but the others would probably suit your purposes as well.
Finally, if you have a jail-broken Android phone you could probably use that with the NDK.
Just a thought . . .
