Look What Came Today!

More toys!  Today the postman brought me a new beacon to play with.  This time it's the RadBeacon USB from Radius Networks.  My opinion of Radius Networks thus far has been really positive, so it wasn't surprising to see that the RadBeacon USB was good-to-go right out of the box.  They even print the ProximityUUID, major, and minor on the label for you so you don't have to go fumbling with some app to get it - a really nice touch.  I wish all beacon makers would do that **cough** StickNFind **cough**.  I really dig the fact this thing is USB bus powered - no dead batteries! - but we'll see over time if that's really worth the trade-off in terms of ease-of-placement.
