OMG the Sugar-Glider is SOOOO Cute! Love it. Wow, you can even have them as pets - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Glider.
These are great thoughts. I have no skills in this area so I would greatly appreciate people thinking about how we are going to brand and what form factors we should use for the USBs for Sugar on a Stick. I'm also thinking that lollipops with logos on them or something like that would be great give aways when we advertise Sugar on a Stick. Help very much wanted turning these ideas into cute clean spiffy reality.
