http://labs.echoditto.com/node/59 Comments for "Bug Labs Announces Pricing (and it's not too bad!)" en http://labs.echoditto.com/node/59 <p>It looks like <a href="http://www.bugblogger.com/2008/01/announcing-pr-1.html">Bug Labs has set some prices</a> for its open hardware initiative. And frankly, I'm pleasantly surprised. Yeah, $350 for the base unit isn't cheap, nor is the $100ish average price of the add-on modules. </p> <p>But after reacquainting myself with <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/bug-labs/first-look-at-bug-labs-hardware-video-and-gallery-317554.php">this video</a>, it all seems pretty reasonable. The base unit runs Linux, has a wired ethernet connection and storage capabilities. The add-on LCD is the same unit as ipods ship with, and has touchscreen capabilities thrown in. All in all it seems to be a very high-quality product. I don't think I'm going to rush out to buy one &mdash; I'd rather clog my breadboard with torn-out hair and call it a "learning experience", masochistic though it may be. But I certainly won't complain if Nicco shows up with one in the office.</p> http://labs.echoditto.com/node/59#comments buglabs openhardware Mon, 07 Jan 2008 11:01:31 -0800 Tom 59 at http://labs.echoditto.com
