Number6

Who makes off the shelf USB appliances < $400 (cheaper better)? Specs I
would like: small (roughly size of a router), 8+ USB ports, computing
ability (like PDA or computer), embedded OS (Linux or Windows
CE/XP-Embedded), battery or screen would be nice (like PDA). Does not
need KVM plugs (Keyboard, Video, Mouse), screen, speakers or
CD/DVD/Floppy Drives. There could be 2 sets of answers: 1) who has the
Guts (a board) 2) who has this in a box.

Thanks
 
I think that your 8+ USB ports is going to be the most serious problem.
What is this thing going to be used for?

Agreed, the killer is the number of ports. If you can add an external hub
your options will increase greatly. I assume quantity 1 for that price is
what you're after? And what kind of processor speed do you think you'll
need? How about RAM or flash (this affects price a lot)? How important is
power consumption (this affects processor, and in turn price)?
