Municator - $146 Linux based "mobile" computer

The Municator from YellowSheepRiver should probably be called "portable" or "carry along" as opposed to mobile. It's not a handheld and must be plugged into a wall. But it is a very inexpensive Linux computer and you can take it with you.

For $146, you get:
* A Linux based PC (running Thinix OS)
* Connectable to a monitor or TV
* 400/ 800 MHz Godson processor
* 40 GB hard drive
* 256 MB RAM

James Kendrick points out that it's "...ample for web browsing with FireFox and email using Thunderbird." More information and pictures are available at DL Mag. Availability in the US has not yet been determined.
