I think the reason, for what it is worth, was more to have a totally open system, where everything down to schematics is available for you to see / use / fiddle with, than to have the cheapest small computer on earth.
Your link says it has 8MB of memory, while the NanoNote has 2GB. The MB may be a typo, but I found the same spec on a review site. Whether they got it from the same page you linked, I can't tell you.

It includes wireless b/g, has more internal flash, and installing Linux is well supported by the company:

Seems to have a reasonably active community around it.

32MB DRAM and 8MB flash.
Ah, you're right -- I meant storage space.
