Anyone planning on taking a look at the $199 iToaster?

The only "bad" thing seems to be that you have to use their ISP, and
it is $19.99 per month, which I guess is kinda average, but certainly
a lot more than I pay (nothing).
If there were some way to hack it to not use the proprietary ISP I
would probably buy one just for the heck of it.
