Best Buy is selling the 8" Insignia Infocast for $80. It's a 800 MHz<br>
ARM device with an 8" touchscreen and WiFi, running Linux, and seems<br>
very hackable. Out of the box you can use it to run any of the Chumby<br>
apps, plus display photos from memory cards.<br>

See here for lots of information from Andrew "bunnie" Huang, one of<br>
the designers, about hacking it:<br>

Disclaimer: I just bought one but haven't started hacking it yet.<br>
(And I have no affiliation with Best Buy, etc.)<br>
