interesting hackable device?

Here is a link to the first readily acquirable ARM-based laptop that I've seen:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39391

The huge oddity is that it comes with Wince; that seems likely to be
remarkably unuseful, as there aren't terribly many apps deployed
there.  It's not terribly powerful, with just a 266MHz CPU, which
seems slower than what's being deployed on phones these days.

It is entirely possible that this will be wiped from interest by
devices that followup the Eken M001.  (Which is the one that Hugh
referenced, which *is* capable of hosting Debian and a cut-down
Ubuntu.)
