There's still a "longish wait" for the <expletive deleted> Pandora, too! If the gods stoop down and intervene in the worlds' affairs in order to hasten the arrival of the Pandora, we might see it mid-August. Otherwise, sometime in the Autumn...

So that means if you want Linux on OMAP3 right now, its either a Beagle or a Pre.

I know how many of you are feeling about the OMAP3 feeling "old" already, since we've been hearing about it for so long now. But I don't consider something "old" until there is a better replacement available on the shelves. The first crop of devices with this chipset have been coming out over the last few months, and there's nothing really better available yet, so I'd say the Cortex A8 and the OMAP 3 are still "new".
