This seems like a useful device for computer control/monitoring. It looks a little simpler than the arduino. I'm thinking it would be good for simple prototypes.

Minia is an Usb, plug n play & multiplatform device that allows the computer to comunicate with the external /physical world. Since it´s open hardware, you can customize it and use in many ways with different kind of sensors, with differents softwares and for different applications such Audio, video, measurement of phisical parameters, etc.
Minia comes with 6 analog inputs at 10 bit of resolution (1024 steps) Minia uses the Hid protocol, this is a high speed protocol that runs directly over USB so, no drivers needed for this device in any platform (linux, macosX, windows) and no more pain with ancient protocols like “serial”. Hid has extremely low latency so the sensor response is inmediate.
