The TomTom portable navigation devices (TomTom one, TomTom go etc.) do this.
They are based around an ARM CPU from Samsung and run Linux. If you
press the "power button" it actually does a suspend-to-ram.
They use a somewhat custom linux kernel, the source is available on
their website, www.tomtom.com/gpl
There is a website that aims to run open source software on the tomtom
(ie. not the tomtom navigation software) on http://www.opentom.org

Hope this helps,

Wander
