I've never seen that, but it's actually pretty cool! One draw back is that it's fairly specific to using it with the arduino ... I don't know that I'd want that to be someone's first analyzer.
Too bad they didn't add some headers so you could hook up probes and use it standalone for any kind of circuit:

Wow, I just read your replay and I think I'm really glad I asked. So, the
Arduino lab works ONLY with an Arduino then, only telling me the status of
the pins of the attached Arduino? That is definitely not what I thought it
was for. I figured on getting a cheap logic analyzer and hooking it up to
some basic 555 timer chip experiments, for example, just to learn and watch
the pins go high and low on those basic chips and others. The cheapest
alternative after that is a $700+ rigol ds1000 series with la built in. So,
you think that the Dangerous Prototype board with a couple or the probe
cables is more what I'm looking for? Otherwise $700+ is a bit expensive for
a toy. Ever work with the Dangerous Proto board or other, cheaper,
alternatives? I just ordered something else from Seeed Studios and let me
tell you, they are NOT the fastest shippers :-)

I don't think it is an arduino-specific logic analyzer (I'm not even sure
how that would be possible), it is just in the form-factor of an arduino
shield. It acts as a pass-through board that can plug in between an arduino
and another shield, and lets you spy on all of the signals. If you plug
wires from a breadboard into the female headers, it looks like you can use
it to spy on whatever you would like (speed/bandwidth/voltage limits apply,
of course).

Yeah, just to be clear, i would guess it would work "stand alone" but it's really designed to fit on an arduino and sniff those signals. The xprotolab device looks cool.

You know, if you just want to play and learn with one, I'll bet you could do something straight with Arduino. If you're analyzing something like a 555 circuit at audio frequencies this might be sufficient.
Couple that with Processing and add a couple of traces to the graph example and you're almost done

The Arduino hobbylab device looks very much like the sadly discontinued BS2 logic analyzer I got years ago. It was intended to work only with the Basic Stamp but, was based on the USBEE chip. Once powered, it could read any input line without the presence of the BS2, so I set it up as a standalone device and use it that way.
I found have found my BS2 logic analyzer a useful tool, especially for decoding serial streams, which you can't do on a scope (or at least one I can afford).
The manual for the hobbylab device suggests a decent tool, but I suggest downloading and installing the software to check whether it meets your needs.
Incidentally, I picked up an Xpropotolab device to use without a computer, but have not put it to work yet. Its input voltage maximum is 3.3, or 5 with user supplied voltage dividers.
If you don't have a access to a scope, or if you plan to work with serial data, I would get the hobbylab device.

After reading this thread and doing a bit of research. I found another

1. better sampling rate
2. a mac os ide ( the first product has windows only ide version and the
other [i derived this from comments] a jvm bloat-ware (tee-hee).

I use that one. One of the absolute best purchases I have ever made and

Yea, the Salea looks sweet. I'll have to decide whether or not the Salea is
worth the price for me as an experimental plaything (toy J ) for now, or
order the cheaper device from Seeed, but wait a month + for it to arrive L .
