Seems like a cool board, though I have to say it's not exactly a market unto itself here; the size looks quite nice, but I just built up an ALIX 3c3 for another project and for a slightly larger system you're getting a full 500Mhz 256DDR ram AMD Geode with 2 mini PCIs, 2 USB, built on CF port for your storage/block device, built on serial port VGA and sound card (line in/out). Also fits very neatly into the ALIX aluminum enclosures to make for a very slick and low power little system. The OMAP stuff is very cool especially as far as uber power management and tiny tiny size goes (i.e. in tablets), but for a "mac-mini" type of mobile (or even backpack lug around) style of system there are other better suited solutions in my oppinion (especially since you don't have to cross compile everything). Oh yea, and the 3c3 was only $130 + Wifi cards..
