If this gadget sells for under $50 (which it certainly should) I might consider buying one, just for the fun of it.
But I haven't seen anyone here mention ID Quantique, one of the companies that the "big boys" use for random numbers. They're in Switzerland: http://idquantique.com/
Admittedly not open hardware, but FWIW they claim:
QUANTIS has been evaluated and certified by the
Swiss Federal Office of Metrology (also known as
METAS), the Swiss national organization in charge
of measurement science, testing and compliance.
It confirmed that the quality of its random output
complies with the highest requirements.
The minor detail about buying from ID Quantique is that their cheapest USB product sells for about 990 euros, or about $1250.[1]
I know it's apples and oranges, but anyone interested in this product should at least be aware of some alternatives.
