Picoscope or Rigol. Don't mess with the cheapo "toy" scopes unless you really are in it for just a fun hobby.
Also, don't mess with PC scope software that literally takes input to the line in port on the soundcard. I visibly cringe when I hear about these things.
My rule of thumb is, if you are going to be a bit serious about this, you want to spend at minimum $500 (maybe less if it's a Rigol ) to get a good quality DSO scope.

Hesitating between these two :
Saleae or
DSO 2090 USB PC USB Oscilloscope 40MHz 100MSa/s 2CH
Picoscope are way out of my budget (which is between 150 and 250, tax and shipping included)
Started with C in 1985, moved to Vb3 ... to vb6 and stopped. Now started with .Net and learning C# and VB.net and wishing VB.net was on MF !

Just banged my money to saleae.
My reasoning: Within my price range, cool hardware and software design, open API and community support. Plus, I guess I will be in Digital Kingdom for quite a while...
who knows one day I would write some app for it?

I've been looking at an ARM DSO Nano single channel scope but been looking for reviews.

FYI, there's a very good promotion about a 100MHz scope.
Atten is a good brand, at least for hobbists:

Biggest fault of Netduino? It runs by electricity.

I tried the Nano but returned it the next day. Basically it's a toy that can be somewhat useful for slow signals. Remember, scope bandwidth should be at least double the frequency of the signal that you want to measure. Preferably 3 - 5 times to get a good picture.I've been looking at an ARM DSO Nano single channel scope but been looking for reviews.
I recently purchased a RIGOL DS1052E which I am really pleased with plus they are now on sale in many countries.
The 1052 has an analogue bandwidth of 50 Mhz and 1GSa/s. Inside it's the same scope as it's bigger brother DS1022 which is 100 MHz and the 1052 can be modified through software to become a 1022 and 100 Mhz.

I bought the Oscium iMSO-104 (http://www.amazon.co...30864604&sr=8-1) which is a bit on the expensive side for a casual buy, but I already owned an iPad and an iPhone which makes it very convenient. It's got a single channel of analog at 5MHz and 4 channels of logic input. I haven't used it a lot but it has already solved the original problem that I purchased it for with my Netduino.

By the way, there's another device out there that seems pretty nice - the Quant Asylum QA-100 (http://www.quantasyl...ucts/QA100.aspx). I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has experience with it. The only reason I bought the Oscium instead of this one was for the portability.

I purchased this baby:
OWON SDS7102-V 100MHz 1GSa/s Digital 2Ch Oscilloscope w/VGA and LAN Ports $417
Really does have the lan port, got it in three days via UPS and got the optional battery.
There are also these for a little less:
OWON SDS6062-V 60MHz 500MSa/S Digital 2Channel Oscilloscope w/VGA & 800x600 LCD $345
refurbished OWON SDS6062-V 60MHz 500MSa/S Digital 2Channel Oscilloscope w/VGA & 800x600 LCD $245
