I know some of you are looking for a Linux powered portable media player, and this seems to fit the bill for not much money.

Runs uCLinux on an ARM7TDMI processor (so no Z apps directly runable on it). Probably uses a DSP to decode video, as ARM7 is far to slow to decode DivX bigger than a postage stamp.
