I've searched and haven't found anyone on here talking about these new devices yet. So I'm going to start. They're awesome!
They're less than $5 and can act as a small webserver all by themselves. They can connect to WiFi access points as a client and can serve as WiFi access points to other devices. There is a lot of hype about these making the "Internet of Things" possible, which I think is ridiculous...I will never want my fridge or washing machine connected to the Internet. But they still have a lot of potential.
They can be controlled through a microcontroller, but for the ambitious they already have a microcontroller on-board and can be programmed in C or the much easier LUA scriptable firmware.
Check 'em out.
