Now, see you all fell into the vortex of spin on that teleporter module, and see where it got you? Doing the companies work of talking about their product rather than them tell you about it. What are the two biggest pieces of tech that begin with Tele, that are portable, and can be a modular componant of a larger device? A Telephone, Or A Television! Given the fact that most television is via cables, and looks better on a larger screen, the module is a telephone. 

Following Googles entry into the Phone market with the promise of an open API for phone apps, and the already existing OpenMoco phone, Open Source Hardware is not Hard to Imagine, because it has been here for a few years! Not to mention Google API for GPS on another module, blah, blah, blah.. Arm Processors, Nifty Stuff!

But as far as other cool open hardware that is Useful today, check out the "Neuros OSD." 

with a USB port the BugLabs stuff can use a Sansa or any external drive for storage. not to mention it said they have flash modules on board in addition to ram... 

Enjoy they are all cool tech :)



there are others also :

Checkout David Rowe's website for a great example of open hardware:

Its some great work towards driving down the cost of telephony.

Has anyone noticed that they are releasing a teleporter module in Q1 08

I'm not entirely convinced that site isn't some elaborate prank.
What with their rather peculiar looking acceleration detection module and their promise of a 'teleporting' module in q1 2008, and the general feel of the site.



...open source hardware won't be free, as open source software is.

has lots of open source hardware, and has been around for years.

How can this even work? If you look at there specs, it has no internal storage, and none of those modules have storage. Unless maybe you can "teleport" you data into someone else's hard drive...
