Physiological Genomics is changing its OA policy for 2006. Currently PG uses an author-choice hybrid model. Authors of accepted articles who pay a $1500 processing fee get open access and needn't pay page or color charges; authors who don't pay the fee get traditional toll access. Starting January 1, 2006, the OA processing fee will go down to $750, but authors who want OA will also have to pay the full complement of page and color charges. It's not clear whether or how often the total tab will exceed $1500. PG is published by the American Physiological Society. (Thanks to Matt Cockerill.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
