#2Just Backed this up, and i had a chance to talk to their team and they are super nice, intelligent hardware makers in Egypt, if not the best.the kit uses the hardware components in your mobile device as if its embedded inside, and communicated with your device over a secured bluetooth channel.

#3When mine arrives, I'll actually have a reason to play with my Arduino again! :)

#4there are some chinese android phones going at $35. they should fit quite nicely with this project for permanent projects.
in the longer term, there are already microcontrollers that contains Bluetooth who run arduino, so I believe this project will become only software.

#5I was going to buy multiple shields for my Quadcopter project, but now I can save many of them.

#6What will they think of next?
If only there was some way to take advantage of all those hardware capabilities on the phone without the hassle of hooking up an Arduino. If only there was some sort of way to write 'programs' that take advantage of that hardware. But 'programs' sounds boring, we'll call them 'applications'. Wait, no...that has too many letters. I know! We'll call them 'apps'! You're gonna love 'em, they're the next big thing.

That's nicely cynical, but seems to overlook that this is a nice way to interface a cell phone with a hardware project.

You're right. We don't need the Arduino, we can simply use our phone directly to control that RC car, open doors with passcodes and read the temperature of things.
Oh wait, a smartphone's hardware is closed, you get what you get (in terms of sensors and control) and thats it.
Hmm. It would be nice if we could extend the smartphone's hardware capabilities...

#9What ever happened to the Android Accessory Development Kit? Wasn't this what ADK was supposed to be? Like, 2 years ago?

There is a nice cynical mutual recursion around here :)
