Over at http://www.raspberrypi.org <http://www.raspberrypi.org/> the 
Raspberry Pi has almost finished baking - the PC board artwork has been 
finalised and the components for the first 10,000 have been ordered. ETA 
for shipping is early next month. Price will be US$35 + US$7.50 P&P to 
New Zealand.

For this you will get single core 700MHz ARM11, 256MB RAM, 1080p HDMI 
video, 2xUSB ports, 10/100 Ethernet, SDHC socket for storage powered 
over a microUSB cable, The PCB is the size of a credit card.

As usual for ARM boards a dozen or so 3.3V GPIO pins are available on a 
2.54mm pitch header for interfacing... can't wait!
