Many, eh? In that case it should be no trouble to list a few.

You see, I'm aware of exactly 2 OMAP3430 devices available now:
  • Samsung Omnia HD -- sub-VGA candybar, seems to go for $600+
  • Palm Pre -- HVGA QWERTY slider, $549
  • (presumed) Nokia N900 -- WVGA QWERTY slider, est. $600+
Not "many" in my book, nor for substantially less price (especially since the N900 price is still a wild guess). And you'll notice both those devices have substantially less screen (specifically 60% and 40% the pixels); a look at the other specs makes it obvious the N900 is better hardware than the Pre, though the OmniaHD is more mixed.

I'm not saying I haven't missed a few -- I'm not a complete gadgethound -- but there's a huge difference from "2 devices, 1 at the same price, one ~$100 cheaper" to "many devices with less price", and until someone can list some more, I can't consider the latter anything but BS.
