Hackable Electronic Badge

The chaos communication camp badge, a full featured SDR: https://rad1o.badge.events.ccc.de/

There was a talk about how this badge was built (non-comercially); it was only possible with most of the chips sponsored and a few people doing pretty much nothing else for months.

This came across my inbox and I think it is one of the IoT applications that actually makes some sense. That Parallax made it a product seems like the next step.

My guess would be that something like this would be really good way for an Atmel or ST Micro to "sponsor" the embedded systems conference as well.
