I've placed my order for a rPi, but is back-ordered. Some of the other arm based boards are also contenders, especially for robotics, despite the increased priced over the rPi.

As of now, the Kinect isnt compatible with the Raspberry pi (unless youre interested in only moving the motor in the kinect around). The general consensus of the community (And my own trial) is that its USB drivers are too slow to allow for the image stream, but with better driver for the Pi always in the making, im sure at some point it will work.

Just a heads up, if you are attempting it, it will be quite difficult as no one has done it successfully yet.
