got to say my googling didn't seem to find anything better than your
research. Buy at your own risk I guess.

I have seen dual core revos with 2G ram for $450 "buy now" on trademe
recently. Down from considerably more a short time ago. They are
surely a safer bet? (although I am not sure what your 'sharp' price
for a foxconn is, and I',m not that motivated to find out given the
indications that it doesn't work out of the box with myth and that
it's manufacturer is unhelpful)
