As you may know, the nokia N-series uses PowerVR tech. The N800 and N810 run on a customized linux OS and therefore have large community support. Until now hardware 3D has been unavailable so this is exciting news especially for those who may wish to complement their Dreamcast development with some current PowerVR tech on the linux platform.

IIRC Linux PowerVR development has been possible on Intel GMA 500 for a while now, although the driver apparently has some issues.

Yeah, GMA500 is in Intel's "Poulsbo" Atom chipset. However, the only reasonably low-cost system I can find with it is the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, which doesn't seem to be any cheaper than the N-series.

Oh, don't get me started on Intel graphics driver issues under Linux ;-)
