bushing and pytey are raising funds to kickstart a revolutionary new project: A completely open device which will allow hackers to reverse engineer USB devices. Existing devices which do this can cost more than $1,400!! and generally only run on Windows operating systems.

Please support them if you can!

Any idea how much these things are likely to cost once finished? I notice that a $150 donation will get you one of the finished devices, but is that going to be the retail price of the finished product?

There will probably be multiple pricing options. For example, you could buy the PCB for a relatively cheap amount (probably $5) and buy the components separately to be put together yourself or you could buy a constructed version for yourself. Every truly open piece of hardware I've ever seen does something like this. Fwiw though, I would assume the finished product all manufactured and whatnot wouldn't cost more than $200 at most (I wanna say $150 but a lot depends on what manufacturer they end up going with and other factors not yet decided).
