Looks like an interesting device.
Not terribly cheap, and they seem to want you to buy in lots
of 1000, but once you find the price page:

   http://www.compulab.co.il/exeda/html/exeda-price.htm

it does appear that for 40% extra you can buy them in ones.
Maybe $US672 with wifi, bluetooth, gsm, gprs, gps,
$US32 extra for a camera.

Claims (http://www.compulab.co.il/exeda/html/exeda-os-support.htm) to all
work with Linux.

If you buy one, let us know how it goes :-)
