Mine has never worked long enough for me to figure out what to do with 
it, but I know of people using them for a lot of different things.  I 
hear they're very popular over at the Brookhaven Labs for debugging 
stuff.  I do think though that it would have been good to have a place 
to stick a cellular data card into it.  Not everyone wants that, but a 
lot do.
