That’s Internet Connectivity for the Internet of Things of course. The iCon (we love the name) is a recently launched Kickstarter project from Floyd Lau founder of Amptek Technologies Inc which is based just north of Toronto.
The project is a credit card sized single board computer with numerous connectivity options or as he puts it “…an affordable short range wireless platform for people to experiment and to develop their own unique machine-to-machine applications.” “uClinux is the default operating system for the iCon”.
He’s looking to raise $55k (Canadian) for the project and, currently you can sign up for an iCon for starters at $99 (Canadian).
(Update September 7 2014 See also in the comments that it is available for $90 US from SemiconductorStore.com).
We’ll leave you with his video

OK Thanks
A new version of iCon with a Cortex-M4 is now available.
