If anyone is ordering iRobots, I'm in for one as well!

These things are quite robust, high-quality and reasonably priced for  
what you get.
They should be quite hackable as well, but they use a relatively weak  
Atmel microcontroller, so you don't want to install Linux on it.  
Attaching a Gumstix to it and talking to the robot in real-time over  
serial/USB should be easy though.
