just noted the Black BeagleBoard (sequel to the original) is becoming available 
with a RSP of $45

main differences to original BeagleBoard:

- 512MB vs 256MB main memory
- on-board HDMI - no cape required
- on-board 2GB flash
- the '3D graphics accelerator' suggests there is hope for OpenGL-based GUI's 
which are real lamers on the  original BeagleBoard - modulo driver support; 
we'll see

at that price point I see no rational reasons left do dabble with a Raspberry Pi
