Keep it on the radar? Is anyone who's working on the linux port keeping an eye on Raspberry Pi? An XBMC team member has XBMC running decently on one already. http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=977373&postcount=32 This little guy SCREAMS for Plex to be put on it, maybe in some sort of Plex LIVE trimmed down distro. Given the fact that Plex can transcode, it should be possible to write a client which is pretty easy on the raspberry pi itself, and uses the GPU heavily for performance (same idea as the AppleTV client I guess). This would be my ultimate plex client! ---

I’d love to see it on the raspberry pi too… I think it ships with debian support so it shouldn’t be too obscure. ---

Another (even cheaper) alternative to the pi has popped up, the Allwinner. Check out the specs table in this article comparing the Raspberry Pi, Allwinner, and CuBox.
