Statici[/url]":364sxd8y]Hmm, I'm not having the easiest time thinking about what to do with something like this, but I suppose people could use it to build their own solar-powered weather stations or something. Anything at home can be done with a wifi-enabled device; the data plan is just so...small. Maybe in a few years it'll be realistic to have data plans of a gig or so for the same price.
Water level meters, rain gauges, sunlight sensors, etc. You could deploy dozens of solar-powered and/or battery-operated devices in a larger area and collect data over time and space in a relatively cheap manner. You could even upload GPS way points for a tractor or heavy machinery.
