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

[Christopher Price]

I’d love to see an Intel XMM / LTE lure.

Just makes it smaller and easier to set on the bench. The antenna could be a wire look like a NUC box, but one built into the board is nice. Although I am not sure how well it would work being next to the GND planes of the MinnowBoardMax with small spacing, etc. PCB sticking out the side is not so nice, but if you can snap it off and then go loop, perhaps that would give options.

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.
