How easy is it to get up and running? I have an Efika MX dev board I got from a coworker because I wanted to play with ARM, but it's been such an absolute bitch to get running that I'm considering just throwing it out and looking at one of these.

Yeah, GNOME'll do it...you might try Window Maker instead; the Efika I was using had that before it gleefully hosed itself, and it ran quite manageably on a 800MHz A8.

Wow. That's even smaller than the promo pictures made it look.
