Open-source Gadget construction kits... The Start of a very interesting Trend...
 
Keep an Eye on this one...

Great idea for Gadget Lovers... And for those with a Creative mind for Gadget business ideas, services and consulting... :)

Bug Labs takes on the Gadget giants...
A startup dazzled CES attendees with its vision of open-source gadget construction kits. But can the do-it-yourself approach work for hardware?

Thanks Phil!

Here's another related example... In a recent issue of the Hidden Business Ideas Letter, I wrote an article about "Open Gaming" (for "role playing games") and how some people are using this new form of "open source" to make profits... (See issue #34, pp.1-6.)

Here are some informative links on this phenomenon...

Best wishes :)
