Just found out about this $75 critter called a RioTboard available from Newark Element14.

It's running an A9 Cortex processor @ 1Ghz, has 1GB onboard DDR3 RAM and boots Android. It'ss pretty tricked out port and feature-wise (see below). And it has several nice features (i.e. JTAG interface, camera interface, GPIO port) that make it ideally suited for tablet, netbook and appliance applications - which is where my main interests chiefly lie.
Full speche RIoTboard is based on the i.MX 6Solo processor from Freescale Semiconductor integrating all the functionalities of this multimedia application processor with the following features:
Processor
ARM Cortex A9 MPCore™ Processor at 1 GHz
High-performing video processing unit which covers SD-level and HD-levelvideo decoders and SD-level encoders as a multi-standard video codec engine

For those interested in the Arduino, Little Bird Electronics have a Kickstarter project up.
They're taking your normal size Arduino and shrinking it a bit:
