too expensive for only 300mh/s with asics coming out.
Indeed, it is... but can you imagine what will gonna happen if these miners were cheap?
I want one! 
USB stick miner, seems great idea to promote Bitcoin. But the price is too high. To promote it effeciently, we need to wait for 10 USD per stick - thats the real mass production cost + nice profit, lol
Seems pricey but still interested...
this looks really cool, if it performs as described
Doesn't seem cost effective at all. Get a few shares instead.
overpriced... also the amount of USB ports to achieve a hash rate of a new asic miner, like burnin will produce, is very high
I will agree with others in that the price seems a bit steep for this device. With that said, I think it would be interesting to try these little guys out. With hot weather rapidly approaching here, I wonder how much heat these little guys put off compared to GPUs?
More/New pictures of the latest batch. Now shipping.

Here's a group buy organiser's photo of his USB miners he's received and about to distribute.

new scam? 
cute but worthless
Yeah I would rather spend 100$ on another GPU. If these were like 20$ maybe.
looks like return less than 1BTC over its lifespan.
Man at that price....ouch
anyone want to make group order with 1,99 BTC?
I think those USB miners are a nice option to mine from 'on the move' in office on your laptop e.g.
Probably nobody would buy a 32 port USB hub for 10Ghash rig...instead this cumbersome rig you would by an erupter blade

It's arguable if these are worth the asking price, but they have the very great advantage of being available right now, as opposed to in a month or two. The only reason that ASICMINER can charge such a high premium for the Block Eruptor products (the blades were priced at 50BTC per unit, which amounts to a hashing power / BTC value of roughly 400MHs for 2BTC. That sale was massively oversubscribed) is because they have no effective competition at this point in time. If Avalon ships on time we will start to see competition late July / early August at which point I suspect we will see a version 2 with similar price point but 2 - 4 times the hashing power in a similar package from AM.
