That's the rumor although I have yet to attempt to buy one. I am living in Hong Kong at the moment and was hoping to 
see them arrive at some local geek shops but they havent yet. I'm also going to wait until the price hits that promised 
49 bucks so I can save some money :) The specs on Marvell's site do look interesting though you can buy with different 
configurations. None of the configs contain wireless but a couple have dual gigabit nics which could be very handy.

Thanks, I'm looking at the sites, can you buy the hardware now?

What about the Marvell "Plug Computer"?

If this 'drop box'  is going to be covert for a pen test it seems to be probably the most inconspicuous small 
computer on the market. And at 99 dollars (soon to be as low as $49) it isn't going to break the bank if it get's 
lost or stolen.

This is a good reason NOT to store any info on the device, it should  
only ever provide access not store content.

Typically they are lost in public areas like waiting rooms and lobbies

Not being familiar with these types of pen tests, how exactly are  
you losing these in the field?

Just wondering aloud about who might be finding these, and what they  
might be doing with the very sensitive information possibly already  
captured on them.  Are your pen test clients aware that their  
information might fall into the wrong hands when such a device is  
lost during a test?

Thing
is, for a pen test, you may have to be willing to lose a few in the
process and you will need to make sure you put some extra $$ in the
budget to cover your losses.
