Something I would definitely not have a need for, but it looks pretty cool. They various types of configurations.

Their own website has a bit more info, including a demo video of it running debian. The primary focus of the project is the hardware itself, but the rasberry pi base means that there is a giant pool of available software already out there.

Ok that looks kind of dope. I was curious about the battery life. Now I'm curious about its future price.

They estimated the production cost at 250 USD, so I imagine the kickstarter price will be starting around 300. But that's just a guess.
