Depending on what you're planning to use it for, there are some less expensive devices that are worth considering, eg. for about $90 shipped to the US

I just received one and installed Debian squeeze on it, following the instructions here http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/hacking_the_mele_a1000...

Shipping took about a month, but now that it's here it's as good as I expected.

Shipping took about a month, but now that it's here it's as good as I expected.

It's not clear if as I expected is a good thing or not.

From http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/hacking_the_mele_a1000... I read:

X11 is not very stable and the Mali driver is being worked on. You can try running X11 with a frame buffer.

That's going to kill it for a lot of applications.
