First, think on what your are going to accomplish; only then think how you are going to accomplish that. In this order and not vice versa.

Understood nothing. Too many meaningless buzzwords.

Assuming you mean "Windows" rather than "PC platform"... That rules out Green Hills, Freescale/CodeWarrior, Cosmic, and a range of other suppliers as "professional".

If by "PC platform" you meant "Windows", (a) that isn't really true these days, and (b) the impression I got from the OP is that he wants the OS on the target to be Linux, not necessarily the host OS. Not that it makes much difference - it's the path of least resistance to develop for Linux targets on a Linux host anyway.

Linux is available on a PC platform. I think you mean Windows. JS

Why exactly does a laptop or mini laptop (e.g. Eee) not meet your requirements>?

I am looking for a board that's available on the market so that I can build my application on it.

Are you looking for a board the meets those requirements, or are you interested in laying out your own PCB and going into production? I ask this because a systems integrator needs to look at a whole different class of products than a circuit designer. And WiFi is mostly a modular option, with all the CF and SD card options.
