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

[Darren Hart]

The SeaCat has the right components, but is not the same size as the
MinnowBoard MAX. Yet. So yes, this is what the SeaCat *should* be IMNSHO :-)

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.
