There's nothing stopping the community from trying to design some hardware. Take a look at the Wikipedia page on open hardware http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_hardware. There's lots of stuff out there to get folks started.
We could try to create a new device, but I would rather create something that augments the Freerunner like some microcontroller sensor hardware that connects via USB. For example, a USB or bluetooth version of http://www.liberlab.net/ in a package that snaps onto the back of a Freerunner could be pretty nifty. How about a bluetooth or USB barcode scanner and RFID reader/writer that snaps on the back in place of the regular back cover. That's something we can do as a community. It's something that is also more likely to eventually see support from the official Freerunner folks in the form of manufacturing or just giving a professional opinion on the design. -Charles
