Hack This Device January 6, 2008

The New York Times has published an article about a new product from Neuros Technology International that invites people to extend the functionality of the device. It is an example of open source hardware, similar to the Chumby I mentioned a few posts ago. The Neuros OSD is a device to archive, organize, playback, and transfer your video content to other devices. It will be interesting to see what happens if there is a market for hackable devices. Imagine customers deciding what capabilities are included in the products they purchase instead of the manufacturer. To provide an educational spin, imagine a classroom where students are empowered to decide what they are going to learn instead of the curriculum. Sounds very disruptive.
