Brett,
ARM level 6 CPU, so should be more then enough for LB replacement. Look at all those USB's and microSD!. This would probably replace the need for a HUB on the LB. Shame I can't see a SIM socket as well :( but for $49 ;).
I see it has 4 mounting holes also, and that HDMI would be nice for a wallmount monitor. Obviously you have touch inbuilt into the OS, so if a cheap tactile display unit could be found you have basis for a nice control unit.
4W standby to 13W playing accel video. Power supply included -wow thats a $15.00 bonus
Your in US arn't you - so postage would be ok i assume, but what cost when posted to UK?
I'll have to do more DIY now so SWMBO will give me more pocket money ;)
