but the base got wifi under the hood, so skype and similar should be available almost from day one imo.]]>Aug 29th 2007 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/Aug 29th 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/Aug 29th 2007 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/
Ideally, I'd like to buy a 30-50 dollar prepaid mobile card, which is good for at least a couple of months (forever would be better), and be charged X cents per KB of data I transmit with it (where X, hopefully, would be ~3 or less). I haven't found that yet, because nobody's pay-as-you-go plan page ever ever effing ever talks about data rates (or if you can even do data at all).]]>Aug 29th 2007 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/]]>Aug 28th 2007 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/
the hardware doesn't look all that amazing compared to other mini linux paltforms, but the sdk+emulator look great]]>Aug 28th 2007 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/28/bug-labs-fleshes-out-bugbase-bugmodule-details/
And there are already several communities around open source hardware development (like Arduino) which support any component you can throw at them. I suspect the BUG hardware won't be cheap, since it will essentially be those components packaged into snap-together casings.

The SDK looks like a modified version of Eclipse, so maybe they're trying to lure software developers into doing hardware dev? I really want to know from the BUG folks who they're targeting, because it looks like a niche geek product to me that will only further fragment the indie hardware development that's been blossoming recently.]]>Aug 29th 2007 12:29PM
