Personally for myself, I'd rather splurge on a 10$ AVR32 chip which can run a cutdown version of linux....and compile PHP onto it with Joomla installed and my resume/contact info preloaded. :-) But then your getting into a lot more complications[how do you make it a "network" so the user can connect to it.....] Or for mass production, going with a http://evilmadscience.com/productsmenu/tinykitlist/74-atmegaxx8 breadboard and doing something there[bluetooth vcard database? speaker which says something? Not so thrilled with the POV card, but it is pretty neat. http://hackaday.com/2011/03/21/pov-business-card-is-guaranteed-to-get-you-noticed/ I find it thrilling that this stuff is now mass marketed to the point where you can build something functional like this for under 25$....[I think the one I linked to originally runs around 10$ for the parts].... I find it even more thrilling that a noob like me can actually read through this stuff and figure out how to put one of these together....
