There was a writeup in the latest Linux Journal, including some suggestions for things to do with it. The one I found most interesting (as well as a possible solution to a problem I expect to see in about 8 years or so):
"Parents of teenagers might be interested in using a BUG to track their kids' driving habits. With a built-in GPS, an accelerometer and almost 512Mb of memory, it wouldn't be difficult to track where kids go, and how fast they went. Such a device could be mounted in the trunk and would have the added benefit that if the kid decided to remove the unit and stash it at the library, where he told his parents he would be, the device could sense that it was being moved, using the motion detector module, and start filming the event—busted!
