300 feels slow, but arm9 is supposed to be quite efficient right?

I would make this a SODIMM, 128 is low if I'm going to buy a board

Related to above: Too much, go for 32Mb and solder on more ram if you
can't make it a SODIMM

Last year I would have said "WHY NOT GIGABIT" but since I've switched to
a high quality gigabit switch plugged into my WRT I don't need more then
2 ports on the router device. (Not like we have gigabit internet yet :/)

This is why you don't need more then 32mb on-board. There are plenty of
CF <-> SATA adaptors you can buy for $10 off DX. (Also raid0 SDcard <->
SATA)

So the miniPCIE runs in usb mode? Or both USB and native?

:O GSM

Battery backed RTC \o/

What is the target price? depending how close to $100 this stays this
could kick some serious ass. (if it comes with a case and power supply
then I guess it can cost more, but a naked board should be close to $100
or be insanely over-powered and like $300)
