I'd buy one. Seems an elegant solution to the network speed issue. Turn everyone into a de facto network supporter.

If only we didn't have such authoritarian fascist governments, we wouldn't even have to bother with this Tor stuff.

The greatest struggle in our age is not the phony War on Terror but the Individual vs the State.  Samuel Huntington wrote of a Clash of Civilizations but it might as well be a clash between the sovereign citizen and the state; between freedom and tyranny.

Isn't "TOR Router" kind of redundant?  The "R" in "TOR" already stands for "Router"

Also, it isn't going to speed up your TOR network accesses.  All the box does is connect to the TOR network same as you would on your own computer.
TOR's slowness isn't due to hardware, it's due to latencies of passing through multiple relays.

Pardon my fastidious behavior, but it is actually Tor, not TOR (I'm a newbie and I have to post so I can become a regular).

No.  TOR stands for "The Onion Router"

You are mistaken.  Yes, Tor stands for the onion router but it is Tor, not TOR.

Go to www.torproject.org

The website never uses TOR, only Tor.  And, in fact, it specifically states that it is not TOR, but Tor!

This is such a common error among Tor and non-Tor users.
