Interesting trend in commodifying IoT:

"we extracted all the useful parts from Little Printer and created an operating system we call BERG Cloud — first you use it to prototype connected products, and then you take them to production, maintaining agility all the way. It’s soup to nuts, and we include everything

• from the APIs to control and configure your connected product from the web (we love the web)
• to a friendly mobile website for users to claim, share, and interact with products, making use of all of our design learnings…
• to the actual hardware and wireless.

You can get going quickly using our new BERG Cloud Dev Kits, with dev boards that plug into common hardware prototyping platforms (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ARM mbed). The first 3rd party on BERG Cloud is Twitter — we worked with them to make #Flock, a limited edition connected cuckoo clock that sings when you get a retweet or a fave!"
