  SparkFun is awesome, one of my favorite places to buy hardware hackery stuff along with Adafruit and Newark, but if you want to hack on this board for cheaper you can buy Insignia Infocast 3.5 units off ebay for around $40, half the price. The board inside is virtually the same as the Chumby Hacker Board (different arrangements of some of the headers and ports, IIRC) and it comes with a wifi module, 3.5 inch LCD w/resistive touchscreen, speakers, etc. At $80 for the Chumby Hacker Board most people are better off just buying a rasp-pi, the CPU and memory in it crush the falconwing board and there's a much larger active community of people hacking on it so you get easy access to newer linux kernel versions, distros, etc, but at $40 and including the LCD/touchscreen, wifi, speakers, etc [infocast|chumby One] are still a great deal to use just for hacking on. Still slower than the pi but having the lcd touchscreen/accelerometer/speakers/bend sensor buttons/wifi/etc gives you a lot of stuff to hack on out of the box that you'll have to pay extra for on the pi.
