Wouldn't that be 4 x 2 inches?]]>Nov 1st 2007 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 2nd 2007 5:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/2) That said the average consumer is not going to want a square, bulky, mismatched thing such as this.
3) It would make a good learning tool for mobile programmers.]]>Nov 1st 2007 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 1st 2007 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Cool! I'd buy one.

1 x EVDO module
1 x battery module
1 x double sized module for 2.5" hdd

Assuming the built-in wifi can act as an access point, or there's a bluetooth module (in the EVDO module, or in the base unit) so I can do bluetooth DUN and bluetooth FTP.

Put it in my backpack or briefcase, and I've got a portable access point for my Nokia N800 or Nokia N810.

It might also be good to have a module for an express card slot and/or PCMCIA/PC-card slot, if it has drivers for the various cards that Sprint, Verizon, AT&T and T-mobile sell.

I need to read up on it, hopefully it is using standard buses (eg usb), then there can be a nice market of cross vendor gadget components. It will be a while though, and size will always be an issue compared to integrated devices.]]>Nov 1st 2007 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/
This is a major step forward and I can't wait to get mine (since I'm a student that'll probably be a few years).]]>Nov 1st 2007 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/
Something like this would be an awesome educational tool for schools if they were set up right too.]]>Nov 1st 2007 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/oh well]]>Nov 2nd 2007 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 2nd 2007 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Jan 17th 2008 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 2nd 2007 12:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/
Seriously, I want one of these, or two. Fun, useful and educational. I'm on the mailing list but somehow missed recent announcements.

This is trick.]]>Nov 2nd 2007 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 2nd 2007 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 2nd 2007 1:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 2nd 2007 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.virtualcogs.com/) that have been on the market for >1yr already? ]]>Nov 4th 2007 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/Nov 5th 2007 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/
Have a look at their portable computing COG. It has a nice enclosure to go with it. http://www.virtualcogs.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=59 -- I think the key advantage here is that you can stack pretty much as much as you want on these, rather than limited to the 4 devices of Bugs.

Anyways, its hard for any of us to comment right now because we haven't seen the BugLabs stuff in person yet. Ill likely pick one up to play with regardless...]]>Nov 5th 2007 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.buglabs.net/images/press/community_apps_med.jpg

i suspect that the 4+base is just the start.

and yes, i see the enclosure entry. looks like i missed it on first pass. still, i cant really make heads or tails of the image that accompanies it.]]>Nov 5th 2007 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/01/bug-labs-bugbase-and-bugmodules-hands-on/
