Maybe I'll throw one more platform into the mix: the recently orphaned Chumby. Before Chumby Industries closed its doors, my Chumby 8 was a Flash/Action Script widget player based on the Marvell PXA168 (ARM 9), 128MB of RAM, 2GB of flash, 2 USB ports, wifi, audio (built-in speakers/microphone), SDHC card slot and a low resolution touch screen. At the moment, it's mostly a glorified alarm clock, but there are other projects that run on this platform (e.g. using Open Embedded). Depending on your application, you might want to use a remaindered Chumby. The going rate seems to be about the same as a RaspberryPi on ebay.
