It would be slick if this was a PoE device so I didn't have to dangle a power cord off it. My options for placement would be a good bit more broad.
looks pretty slick. hopefully it'll be easier to order several of those along with some promotional content to help spread word and distribute more.
will the router be rebrandable or come stickerless for ISPs to provide to their customers? Could there be a version that plugs straight in to an ADSL splitter, so you have your personal router and kit off one splitter and from a separate splitter, perhaps at a different phone point just plug in this device?
I'd agree support of PoE via 802.3af is a must in order to allow the access point (with only 1 port it isn't exactly a router anymore) to be closer reach potential FONeros, WDS could help as well. Also, just a thought, but it would be nice to have a FXS port (VoIP). That would up the ante on the social aspect of FON and connect Linus and Bills on a voice network. I don't mind if the unit is "cheaper" for FON to purchase, but hopefully the hardware is at the level (if not higher than the Linksys), e.g. 32MB RAM for future, etc
