Cool! Can you snap any photos for us?

Here you go

Just saw this. Channel 9's Greg and Dan chat about Netduino on the Channel 9 weekly review...

Very nice segment. A big thank you to the folks at Channel 9.

Awesome will twitter

Will do, being able to work in Visual Studio 2010 Express and be able to work with these boards is inspiring. In this case I had a 3 pin header which then went to the LCD. So I had the LCD header going into into a breadboard then 3 wires going to the Netduino.

If you can add SD card support, an LCD and a few buttons to do Next, Previous and Select, you can build a geocaching tool where you load the coordinates of your next geocaching hunting trip. but then... if you can add a gps unit to netduino and an ethernet shield...well then you can write your own ntp server! wow the mind boggles at what you can build once you get into this arduino / netduino thing

Just curious...when you received and opened your Netduino, what were your first impressions?

Anything we can do better to improve the "unboxing" experience?

I received an email on thursday telling me about netduino and magically while reading the email my credit card jumped into my hand :-)

I ordered via amazon and it arrived friday. I could have waited and saved shipping costs but could not wait. The price is excellent and the board works well. Tried the first examples quickly. A colleague who saw this board and is new to microcontrollers could not believe how easy it is to use it with C#.

The packging is cool and sort of does not get you ready for the device itself. I loved the comment on the back like a small box.

This device makes me think..what can I build, oh and mine came with a cable.

Great stuff
