I am sure most have heard by now, Raspberry Pi 2.

Although it does not meet every spec listed here, it is a tremendous improvement over the original RPi's.

UPDATE: A new contender is announced. At $35, the ODROID C1 is the same price as the Pi and is based around the Amlogic S805. It has quad-core with 1GB RAM, gigabit ethernet, an IR receiver, 2 analogue inputs, hardware RTC.

I think I'll be getting one. If anyone has played with one already, how did you find it?

The BeagleBone Black covers most of your specs: The specified item was not found.

Here are some discussions comparing BeagleBone and RasPi:

However, as you say, 512MB can be restrictive, as are the ARM processors in both BBone and RasPi. For a partial list of much more powerful single-board computers, check out the links in this poll: Are any SBCs ready to replace desktop computers?
