For $149 I'd rather get an i.MX53 Quick Start Board with Cortex-A8 @ 1 GHz / 1GB DDR3 RAM / SATA(!) / 1080p video decoder / VGA / Ethernet / USB.

I agree about BeagleBone, it's a great choice if you don't need video or too much RAM, and it includes a JTAG adapter.

Just a warning: the illustration on the page shows an attached display. You don't get the LCD & touchscreen in the $149 price. That's another $199 for the 4.3" resistive, and $499 for the 10.1" procap. OUCH.
