Dunno if any of you have seen these but they look awesome and I can't wait to buy a few in January.

It's a tiny pc on a single board which is about the size of a credit card and runs Linux. The spec is a 700mhz ARM processor with 128 or 256mb ram, USB port(s) and hdmi out, using an sd card for storage. They've shown a few demos of it being able to play back H.264 1080p video and also a quick demo of it playing quake 3 with full graphics in 1080p resolution at about 25fps.

The most impressive thing is the price with the 128mb version at $25 and the 265mb/2 USB/Ethernet priced at $35. They do have mains power but can also be powered from 4xAA batteries.
Got a few things I want to try with them such as MAME machine built into a joystick, tiny quake 1 box and a little media box.
