How do you tell it the password to connect to your encrypted wifi network? I don't see anything like an Ethernet connection.

There are plenty of girls that are as exciting as wet biscuit. At least this little "thingy" never gets a headache ;-)

@Flash, there is no ethernet, as yet. This unit expects WiFi router/modem service to the LAN/WAN.

Neat little package with all kinds of DIY home applications almost anyone can envision. It can run standalone or wirelessly.

Hope that is helpful

Girls aside :D , this little computer is rather nifty.
Really like the idea that it interfaces to the arduino thereby leaving the Omega to do the heavy lifting and the arduino takes care of the I/O.

Is that a mistake I detect on the kickstarter page? the prices versus the features seem to be mixed up.
The $9 model has more features and RAM than the $19 version.
Can that be right?

Another thing that worries me is the availability going forward.
Not that they won't be able to manufacture enough units, but EMI/EMC compliance which is mandatory in almost every country and it's a very expensive and lengthy process.
Without it, the major stores will not be able to sell them.
I remember the guys with the Raspi Pi had quite a few headaches with the same thing.

Haa, bureaucracy at it's finest.
