You can already do this with a combo of something like and iPac, LEDWiz and LEDBlinky, but what this guy is trying to do is combine all of that into one product at a much lower price point. For someone like me who is going down that road with my cabinet, it's pretty attractive. The only question will be quality and feature set when it's released.
And yes competition is always good.
