[MinnowBoard] community demand for a cellular GSM/GPS lure?

[Darren Hart]

Such a card would effectively look like two minicard slots, one with
SATA lines, the other with PCIe lines. The PCI Minicard slot can then be
used with off the shelf wifi or GSM modem cards. This is a fairly common
configuration and is extremely flexible. It's also one that I have been
lobbying for for a while now. It absolutely needs to be the same size as
the MinnowBoard MAX.

I'm working on a new client project using the MBM and plan on spinning a cellular GSM/GPS (and maybe BTLE) lure board for it.  Any community interest on me making it open source and offering some stock of those boards?  It's a little more effort for me to do so, and so I thought I'd gauge interest first.  Approximate target price point around ~$100.  Thanks for the feedback.
