This year's Wakefield RISC OS computer show has given enthusiasts of the niche platform much to talk about. The show featured the release of new hardware in the form of the ARMini, a 'Beagleboard inside' computing system optimised to run RISC OS. A full account of the show has been published on RISCOScode, one of the RISC OS rolling news websites. Note from Thom: Sorry for the headline.

Your line
Beagleboard = £89
could be ammended to
Beagleboard + RISC OS = £89
as the OS is free from RISC OS Open.
That's a DIY solution to running RISC OS, and great if you are technically minded.
The ARMini comes as a properly packaged, ready to use, out of the box system - 'plug and play'.
The two solutions are aiming at two different sorts of RISC OS enthusiast.

The article describes a full attendance and queues... don't look like there were that many people attending, and this "is the biggest show of the year", I wouldn't want to be attending one of the smaller shows :-)

[...] that's worth going all the way to wakefield for
I missed out on both the boiled sweets and the Bounty bars! The queues may not be evident in the photos but it was certainly reasonably busy.
Laugh all you like, but I think the turnout actually wasn't bad for an OS which is battling hard to be
"No Longer Thoroughly Obsolete"!

Do you have access to a BeagleBoard? If so, give it a go!
