On top of that:
- IGEPv2 platform: 
http://www.igep-platform.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=55
Comes with Ethernet, 140-145.
- Hawkboard platform: http://hawkboard.wordpress.com/
Again, has ethernet :) No price yet, but they are aiming at 80$ approx.

- Openpandora: http://www.openpandora.org/
- OpenRD-Client & OpenRD-Base
- ...

Once you start looking at ARM OMAP based boards & platforms, you'll find 
that there's a lot out there... ;)
