I found the VoCore project on indiegogo and thought it might interest some others here too.
I've followed it for a while, and while the project creator doesn't speak English perfectly, he answers questions and posts updates often.
To quote:
At the moment he seems to be experiencing problems with the alpha boards he shipped to people, they are really getting /alpha/ boards. But he is open about it and works on fixing the problem (for production boards). After all people were warned alpha board might be buggy, so I don't see that as a problem (just happy I didn't order an alpha board
).
Seems like a cheaper, less powerful Raspberry Pi to me, which for some uses could even be better than a Raspberry Pi (smaller, two Ethernet ports, etc.).

Open source hardware, I can't/won't check it (for now), but there are PCB files on the creators blog for download.VoCore is a coin-sized Linux computer with wifi. It is also able to work as a full functional router. It runs OpenWrt on top of Linux. It contains 32MB SDRAM, 8MB SPI Flash and using RT5350(360MHz MIPS) as its heart. It provides many interfaces such as 10/100M Ethernet [x2, note by T4b], USB, UART, I2C, I2S, PCM, JTAG and over 20 GPIOs but its size is less than one square inch(25mm x 25mm).
