#2Does anyone have any idea of what it will cost? I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

It's a bit steep at $89.

#5It looks cool, but the price is a bit steep. You can get a touchscreen LCD from Adafruit at $39.95 (http://www.adafruit.com/products/1651). You still need to buy an Arduino, but they're cheaper than $45,-. I've bought Chinese Uno V2's for less than $15 a piece.

The advantage of their integrated LCD and Arduino is that it would only use 2 pins instead of the 6-7 that would be occupied by the shield you linked. This would allow you to connect other shields and have more room for add-ons. I agree that $89 is steep though, hopefully that price can come down as more are made.

The arLCD is 3.5", whereas the $39.95 from Adafruit is 2.8". That still shouldn't account for the price difference though.

#8how awesome, $89 tho :(

#9I know people are saying this is a bit steeply prices, but I think this is perfect. I've been looking at the various options and they typically all require three components- the touchscreen/lcd itself, a controller board of some sort, and then the Arduino itself. Then you have to actually put it all together, and as people have mentioned you end up with a lot more than two pins being used.
This one at Adafruit costs $40, uses five or six pins, is smaller and doesn't have the Arduino built in.

#10On a side note, I like how the product is presented by two young girls. Is this intended for educational purposes?
