It'll set you back 164.00 excluding tax and postage for version with
GPS/bluetooth and wifi.
The reason why I think the snowball is the best choice is because it's
using the ST-Ericsson Nova A9500 processor (Dual Cortex A9 + Mali 400 GPU)
like the Samsung Exynos 4210 SoC. The advantage of this board over the
pandaboard is that it has a OSS video driver (GPL and MIT license), while
the SGX540 driver is closed source.

I have the the Pandaboard the problem is the current SGX drivers don't
work for hardfp, which I think is the best for a openSuSE ARM distro.
If it's decided to use this board I wouldn't mind ordering it together
with people near me, the postage is quite high 32.56 excluding tax, to
the Netherlands.
I live in Limburg (SE Netherlands), near Germany and Belgium.
the real fun and target a board.
