I think it's the "casascius pos terminal": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46366.0

I don't think it's completely "developed".

Given that Adrianne Jeffries betabeat reports seem to get a bit of attention from other journalists - nice to see her follow up with something a bit more detailed about the price crash and mining profitability.

This piece should be of interest for both bit and name coin.

http://memeburn.com/2011/10/p2p-dns-taking-ownership-of-the-internet/

It's an interesting article on namecoin with quite a few pointers in the bitcoin direction  Grin

http://www.kitco.com/ind/Nadler/oct242011.html

Don’t look now but there is a major currency crash already under way. No, we have not suddenly turned into alarmist newsletter scribes here. The fiat currency Armageddon we are referring to is taking place in the same space that others have tried their hand in and failed previously; the creation of alternative money. Remember Beenz? Remember Flooz? Neither do we. Remember Bitcoin? You won’t, soon.

The recently invented “encrypted monetary unit” that is more complex that the design of the Mayan calendar was supposed to take the world by storm. Forget the greenback when you can swear by Bitcoin. Aha. Whereas the latest in alternative cash once traded as high as $33 (hey, near gold standard status!) it is now changing hands at under $3 and it might soon vanish altogether. Some have called it nothing short of a “screwball scheme to bypass the system.” You know; the “IRS and taxes” kind of system. So, do not be shocked if you get “called in” by Uncle Sam for a friendly audit, or to soon read that “Bitcoin…bit the dust.”

Bitcoin got a brief mention on Australia's national youth radio station TripleJ during the Hack half hour this afternoon.  They were talking about Wikileaks payment blockade and alternative means of donating.

you can listen to it or download the mp3 of it here: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/stories/s3347881.htm

if you just want to hear the 'bitcoin' sound bite, skip to about 2:40.
