I must presume, when looking at the prices for the ‘Meshcube,’ that “199,90 EUR” really means about €200, not €20,000, because as cool as a tiny, mesh network computer is, I don’t think there’s any way I’d pay 20 large for one. Mesh networks are like generic WiFi networks, except that as you continue to add nodes — like the little Meshcubes, for instance — the network can expand out, without many of the limitations of traditional wireless networks with repeaters. There are other differences, too, but for now we can just enjoy a cute bug computer with no moving parts, a 400MHz MIPS processor, and two WiFi interfaces all crammed into a 7 x 5 x 7cm cube.

Update: So some Europeans use commas instead of periods to delimit. Who knew? Thanks, Every European Ever!
