That is pretty cool. You can't buy an iPhone for $25 but you also cannot buy a Raspberry Pi for $25 that has WiFi, 3G, BlueTooth a display, 64GB of flash and 512MB of memory :-)

Anyway, I look really forward getting my hands on an RP.

Yea I was looking at the video of it running XBMC. Thinking of running it as a media center

I think it requires about 5w of power so yes. In fact I'm planning on getting a micro usb solar opwer pack to use with it if I can get my hands on a board.

I can go out and buy an iPhone 4S today. Can you buy a Raspberry Pi at any price right now?

"It's better because it's available now" isn't an incredibly appealing argument when the price different is around $500.
