Looks like certain berry-constant named device has opened Pandora's box, Olimex Ltd. just announced another low cost Linux SBC, but this time it is going to be OSHW and they are looking for developers that could help them round up the device for general use. Ok, enough talk, here's announcement - http://olimex.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/imx233-olinuxino-development-started-today/
PS read the article comments, this is not going to be the last OSHW SBC by Olimex 
US$25 is a sort of "magic figure". There's something about it that splits prices into two levels, those below it which frequently can be spent on a whim, and those above it which generally need careful consideration and budgeting. Obviously the exact figure depends on personal finances, but typically it's around there somewhere.
Raspberry Pi did a clever piece of marketting in promoting the Rpi as the "$25 computer" despite knowing full well that the vast majority of users would want the $35 version because a Linux machine without networking is pretty damn stupid in 2012. Of course there are uses for a standalone Linux board, and the single USB on Rpi Model A could be used with a wifi dongle so the $25 version could still be "connected". But nevertheless, the point stands that the $35 board is actually riding the marketting wave of the "$25 computer" headline.
Olimex is obviously trying the same marketting "trick". And it is genuinely a marketting trick, as they're advertising it as the "EUR 30 Linux Industrial grade single board computer", despite knowing that really it's the Ethernet version that could become really popular. A person who isn't reading the blurb carefully might not catch the fact that there are two boards, and that the 30 Euro one doesn't have Ethernet.
I like hardware, and I like the very capable hardware designers at Olimex and at the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Marketing spin I don't like, and that applies to everyone, the Foundation included. 
Extending my earlier post summarizing Olimex's price list http://www.olimex.com/dev/pricelist.html and the count of USB + network interfaces for these OLinuXino boards :-
Outside of the Linux arena and on the bare metal microcontroller front, the other Olimex board that attracts me is their forthcoming STM32-E407 -- http://olimex.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/stm32-e407-prototypes-are-ready/ .
That's a step up from their very nice OLIMEXINO-STM32, effectively creating a new category of "networked ARM microcontroller board with Arduino compatibility" which hasn't existed before at low prices. It's effectively an STM32F4-Discovery with an Ethernet PHY and Arduino headers added. Of course whether it appeals will depend on its price.
They sure have an amazing range of boards! 
Morgaine.
