highly hackable juice boxes for ~ $4 each!

(I got this from the dorkbotpdx list today...hmmmm, anyone
else
interested in doing something with these? 4$ a pop aint bad)

If you've been looking for a Juice Box to hack, now's your
opportunity!
Overstock.com is selling 6 packs for $25 with $1 shipping. 
If you don't
mind picking up 6 at a time, this is a great chance to get
your hands on
a fun little toy to play with.

Here's the overstock link:

?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=2039880

If you google for "overstock coupon", you can
find a 12% of coupon.  I
ended up getting two 6-packs for under $50 shipped.

Here's a small list of projects you can take on:

And here's how to put linux on your juice box:

Get 'em while the getting's good.  If you don't want all
6, maybe get
together with some folks, or I might be convinced to buy
another pack
and part it out at a bit of a markup ;)

Ok, I ordered 6 of em. I'm going to mess around on one or
two of em so
that should leave 4 for the dc503. I think my daughter still
might
have the MMC<>Juicebox adapter, if not ebay might
work.

Heya Joe long time no see. Glad you got a sixer as well.
I'm trying to
look for heathers old juicebox setup, if that fails fleabay.
I have
also seen plans to take a regular juicebox video cartridge
and turn it
into a card read.

Where there is a will there is a way.

I have been scouting around the net for stuff thats already
been done
to this poor orphaned device of consumerisms failing..and
man have
folks done some interesting things. There is a way to get a
serial
port, and from what I have gleaned from some articles, a usb
port on
the damn thing. I will try to gather the relevant urls
together, if
some one beats me to it so much the better.

One thing I will tell you about these devices, my then 9-10
year old
damaged hers after just a week of use. Toughbooking them
might be in
order-
