I ordered one at the $99 level. It's a cool idea and I can think of all kinds of applications for it, especially considering you can roll your own sensors for it.

If I read that correctly, it is a sensor that monitors several different conditions and, upon being triggered, will contact you via phone or computer.

It's a device that can connect to your wireless network and communicate with you via several means (email, twitter, SMS, others). You can attach up to four sensors to each device (two internal plus two external). These sensors can have rules that trigger the communication. So, with the built in motion sensor, you could say "email me if this thing moves more than an inch from its starting location" and attach it to a door. You'd know every time that door opened or closed.

kinda cool, in this day and age I'd want it to actually do something about the situation though, not just text me about it.

It is only intended as an extendable, cloud based, sensor. The rest you can do easy enough in response to the email/sms/etc. Building a similar device, even one that is interactive, isn't all that hard to do but it requires tools and the knowledge not only to build the device but program it. If this was a fool-proof widget that worked right out of the box though it would have a decent market. Heck if it was cheap enough I would get one just to save me the effort of building my own for things like monitoring my fermentation temps or the like.

I think "saving people the effort" is exactly the market this is after. Considering you can attach up to four sensors to each unit and they are wireless, there are a lot of applications that this would make VERY simple. If you consider your time worth anything than this thing is CHEAP even at $100 a pop.
If you are one of those people that likes to build your own radio from components then this obviously wouldn't appeal to you.
