The 80's was all about proprietary, expensive closed systems - good riddance!  I'm happy we now have inexpensive and plentiful hardware that is open to anyone to develop for.

Been reading here for months, but here is my first post:

Open and inexpensive only applies to x86 architecture, I don't think that is very open!

I think the Power PC architecture is really better, even if Freescale is not developing it as fast as it should.

Here is the latest from them (though I don't think this webpage has been updated in a while, like everything Freescale)

Freescale MPC8641D

Another Note:
The GP2X would be great if it had Wi-Fi!

Link is dead. Even a search of the site turns up a dead link...
