A similar product is the Electric Imp [1], and on a recent theamphour
podcast I heard one of the engineers say their competition is the
Spark Core, and that the Spark Core can be used without the cloud.

I like the idea of a product that doesn't get bound entirely to a
cloud.  I'm not sure I like one that can't be used without a cloud.
