Very interested.
Watch 
We're doing everything we can to get the price down as low as possible, but please have reasonable expectations as we can't sell them for less than the chips cost, plus theres a bunch of other parts, board, heatsink, and NRE costs that we have to recover. These small units aren't going to have the world's best ROI, you can only get that promise when you buy $5k worth of vaporware. Real things in hand cost more than powerpoint slides and renderings.
Anyhow we are trying to keep a sub $100 price point to give entry level miners some meaningful hashrate.

Hmm, I don't like your comment very much. ASICMINER USB sticks, a real product from a real competitor, is existing competition to your vaporware. Furthermore, and I can't believe this is not obvious, your production costs do not matter to the buyer and should not factor into their expectations.
At present asicminer USB sticks are 0.9BTC+ per GH. At 0.5 this is a better deal.
However only time will tell whether roi is possible...

The block erupters will be at .12 BTC is the next few weeks. This new device should be around .45 @ least 2gh/s to be worthwhile.
At 2BTC that's $113 per GH/s which is a total joke.
Even 1BTC you would be lucky to get any ROI by the time it ships. It needs to sell for less than 1BTC if it can't then don't start the project.
And this is the first signs of what will happen to NON-USB ASIC's in October or November 2013.Even 1BTC you would be lucky to get any ROI by the time it ships. It needs to sell for less than 1BTC if it can't then don't start the project.
Companies will figure out that their initial designs can't easily overcome pricing restrictions. So they will have to redesign Gen2.1 to be more massively parallel to keep outrunning the difficulty by any meaningful timeframe.
(You heard it here first! Expect many companies to pre-plan, adapt to changing market conditions, or utterly fail and take your money/BTC with them. Spend wisely.)
Interested. Watch mode.

Cool project, but too pricey.
I'd pay 0.75 for one to dig the mud out my walking boots? Waddya say?

Price needs to be .15 BTC.
It costs more than 0.15 BTC to buy just the chip not including postage, fab etc.
Interested.

0.5BTC/Gh/s in October?
Might be a fun toy ~1btc, but anyone paying 100BTC would be taking a huge risk in their ability to resell them for a profit, and they certainly wouldn't be very worthwhile to use in a big mining op.
Again, a company making a mistake on an unsellable product.Might be a fun toy ~1btc, but anyone paying 100BTC would be taking a huge risk in their ability to resell them for a profit, and they certainly wouldn't be very worthwhile to use in a big mining op.
The USB stick market is going to need to be profitable to be sellable. Right now these are put in a dollar and get back 25 cents.
If it hashes and looks good, I am in for one as a collectible. I agree that the price will turn off most profit oriented people. Perhaps you can credit first buyers with coupons or stocks.
