These units are really cool and have a lot of potential. Once the hw cost for Wifi goes down we will see more and more of Wifi enabled appliances, home control hubs, automotive stuff, and more.

In the meantime what about a semi-intelligent one ! I showcased this Mini Vending Fridge at swedish MobileFuture 2010 conference last week. I modified it so it features the OpenPicus FlyPort for wireless control of this appliance from an Android app. See my company blog where I show some inside photos of what made this demo tick. http://mobimation.blogspot.com/ It´s the first more physical example of FlyPort application I have seen and no doubt more on the way. I strongly believe in Wifi as an enabler for Machine to Mobile communication. As in this case the FlyPort is able to boot up and connect with WPA2 encryption to a router within a few seconds. From there it could proceed to connect to anything out there on the Internet, not even your imagination is a limit to what can be done. If can connect ad-hoc to a phone, it can connect to other FlyPort modules, etc.. Well that intelligent fridge is not far away. In the meantime what about a semi-intelligent one !

Please let me know the details of how to get some kits. Thank you. Regards Hi, I would like to use this in the UAE University to do some research work on this for the Web of Things.

Unfortunately, the API is in a very early stage. For more info see http://www.liquidware.com/shop/show/BLK-WDW/BlackWidow or http://asynclabs.com/store?page=shop.product_details&category_id=11&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=23&vmcchk=1 Cheers, tamberg “the next stage is clearly a wifi version of the Arduino ”
