Any chance the device can sign text too? It would be a killer feature.
That is the plan. |

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

That is the plan. Thank you. I'm glad I can use the device as an identity verifying tool too, and not just for money! |

I'm not entirely up to date with this. There are two Trezor versions: http://www.bitcointrezor.com/eshop/Trezor Classic with plastic case and Trezor Metallic with an aluminium case. The first one is for 1 BTC and the second one is sold for 3 BTC. Where does the $200 price difference come from? There will be two versions of the wallet available:
1) A shield for Raspberry Pi (for DIY hackers)
2) Custom hardware based solution (for common consumers)
Any plans for a shield for Raspberry Pi? |

Metal CNC milling is much more expensive process than the plastic mold casting. |

Congrats Trezor !
You did a impressive work on the prototyping, designing, and aswell on the communication (website, vidcast). You managed this project very well. So I directly ordered the metallic version to support your great work and the time you spend on that.
I hope you have other projects in your mind. I'm sure it's only the beginning of a gamechanger (this or future projects) in Bitcoin.
To the ones who are bitching on the price, seriously, this is rude.
For two things:
- The work they do
- We are talking about 1 BTC right?
Is that all they deserve?

Yes, but the price for the casting mold is around 20000 EUR. :-/ |

Metal CNC milling is much more expensive process than the plastic mold casting. Still hard to believe that the simple metal case costs twice as the plastic case + PCB + electronics + the embedded software... Esp. when produced en masse. Would buy aluminium Trezor for 1.5 ... 2 BTC at most. |

This need volume though and quality is hard to control. |

Yes, but the price for the casting mold is around 20000 EUR. :-/ One thing you can do is get a casting mold in china and bring it back to US for production. Your mold should be approx 5X cheaper. I know it is more trouble though... |

Congrats guys on launching the presale! The video is terrific. A few questions: 1. Will you add multisig capabilities in the future? 2. Is there an updated technical spec? Can you create a wiki page for Trezor? 3. Where is the code? This github repo (yours, I assume) only contain the website. |

Congrats
Remember you are paying for steel AND getting it earlier. Having said that, I got the plastic one, to me even $100 is very expensive but its cool and I want to support them.
Hope blockchain wallet is supported

Yes, but the price for the casting mold is around 20000 EUR. :-/ Don't use casting, use extrusion. It comes out moar shiny that way. Just ordered mine. Please don't forget to include a brmlab sticker!  |

Will there be by the time you ship or is there already a Bitcoin client which supports the functionality of Trezor?

Is armory standalone yet? Or a light version of it? |
