Probably the cheapest way to get a basic ARM board is to buy an
LPCXpresso board, they start at around $40+pp. On board is an LED, an 8k
I2C EEPROM and a LAN8720 Ethernet PHY (but no magnetics or jack), and a
truckloads of holes to solder your cables into.

Over at <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org/">http://www.raspberrypi.org</a>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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!<br>
