The Sun SPOT Store is now open for business, declares David G. Simmons on his On the SPOT blog. Products include eSerial boards, batteries and add-on components. View a few short video snippets demonstrating how the Sun SPOT can be used at the store's main Website, where a list of available products is also accessible.

Sun SPOT stands for Sun Small Programmable Object Technology. It is a wireless sensor network (WSN) mote developed by Sun Microsystems. It is designed to allow programmers who never before worked with embedded devices to think beyond the keyboard, mouse, and screen, and write programs that interact with each other, the environment, and their users in completely new ways.

The device is built upon the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. A Java programmer can use standard Java development tools such as NetBeans to write code. The completely assembled device should be able to fit in the palm of your hand.

The Sun SPOT Store's products can be bought online and there is a direct telephone for direct live support.
