BUGsound available today!
Today, we’re excited to announce the availability of BUGsound, 
the first of the five BUGmodules we announced last month at CES. With a speaker, microphone, hardware stereo codecs and four 3.5-mm stereo jacks, you can use BUG to build your own portable music player, speakerphone, audio server and more.
Priced at $99 and shipping now, you can buy BUGsound from our store today. We really look forward to seeing what cool apps the community can make with this latest BUGmodule. BUGcommunity member finsprings used the BUGbase, BUGmotion and BUGsound to create phunky, a pretty nifty accelerometer-based sampling app. Check out the video to see it in action.
More information and some videos can be found on the BUGsound product page, and you can download hardware specs and diagrams from our wiki. And jump into the conversation on our IRC channel (#buglabs) to see what others are making as well.

Hey Roland,
Good news! Wheels are finally in motion, and we’ll be shipping to Canada within the next four weeks (and internationally soon thereafter). We’ll make an announcement soon here on this blog.

Hi,
Is there a timeline when the other modules shown at CES 2009 should be released? Namely, the Bluetooth/WiFi combo?
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,
We’re putting the final touches on BUGwifi now, and we plan on releasing it in the first half of March.
Cheers, -m
