It doesn't really bother me that it looks like a thermal printer in a cardboard box. You didn't demonstrate any of the other functionality. So, I'm not sure if this is serious.

Announcing Piper, a hardware based bitcoin paper wallet generator and printer.
Learn about Piper and see a prototype in action here: http://youtu.be/XZ2myql_i8w
Piper is composed of a tiny linux-based computer, a small printer, and a single button. Pressing the button causes the computer to generate a public/private key pair, and then print the keypair along with QR codes.
Piper also has an HDMI port and a USB port, so you can hook it up to a TV/Monitor and Mouse and Keyboard and customize your prints, or just hack Piper to do whatever you want. You can even hook up your own printer to the USB port and print using it.
Piper has no internet connectivity, so your bitcoins are guaranteed to be safe. No more hassling with LiveCDs. Just boot up Piper and you're ready to go.
Piper will be shipping in June for $120 or
(BTC value may change and will be based on whatever $120 is worth when we send out the invoices)
If you want to buy Piper, you can preorder on the http://www.piperwallet.com site (pay later).

Thanks everyone, and feedback appreciated!
