I bought one at my BB&B last night. ~$124, after 20% coupon and rebate.

Some quick notes, so far: It's 1GB RAM, based on Android 2.0 or 2.1, SD slot, speakers, HP jack, tactic volume control, AC adapter and stand. Takes about a minute to start up when doing a full reset.

Once hacked (see the other thread for a link), the home page is speedier and you can install other Android apps, the volume button are remapped as "menu" and "back" or else this could not work. So far, I've installed Opera Mini, OfficeSuite and two other media players. Still playing around with it. One caveat so far is sluggish video playback, but tweaking my video files may help with this.
