Arduino 1.0 is on the horizon, eventually.

Some new stuff happening:

Official arduino store – Will make sure that people know if their board is genuine or not but probably take away business from distributors.

Arduino ethernet board -  Pics were posted about this all the way back in December 2006 so it has been a long time coming (almost 4 years!)

Arduino USB vendor ID -  So it appears as an arduino on your computer rather than just a virtual USB serial port.

New non-FTDI chip – So no drivers are required. Will allow re-programming to make it appear as a HID device.

Update to the Mega with an ATmega2560 – Apparently having issues with getting all the program space to work currently (haven’t people already sorted this?)
