I am looking for a computer with small form factor (cellphone sized or
even smaller) with the following features:
1. Runs Linux.
2. RAM+disk - as needed to run a Linux system without X-Window.
3. Audio input.
4. At least one USB port.
5. Ethernet port.
6. Runs on batteries.
7. A way (such as a memory card built on another system) to install
Linux on the computer.
(Keyboard and display are not needed - programming can be done by
sshing.)
I would appreciate suggestions under which keywords to search for such a
system in Google (or in specialized product search Websites), and where
can it be obtained in Israel.

Two questions (Spanish inquisition non-withstanding).
1. How much do you want to pay for it?
2. Does it have to be Intel based?
3. How many units do you need?
4. USB host or device?
Any "computer on a chip" system can provide you with everything you
asked for (well, you will need to adapt the battery yourself, but the
voltage and, more importantly, amperage are compatible with battery
operation). They should all have USB device support, I'm not sure
whether it can be easily turned into USB host support or not.
Development boards can go as low as 300$ for a board with hardly enough
RAM to run Linux, and start climbing from there.
And best of all, if your answer to "3" is "a lot", the prices drop to
peanuts.
