testing unit for some device

I think it's a flashing jig used for flashing firmware onto a device.
There's a pic of a similar one in use here:

Re: ??? Proto device ???
 

that is a very good guess.

Re: ??? Proto device ???
 

You sir, are correct!

Re: ??? Proto device ???
 

@n950: It is for which device? Nokia N900 or Nokia N950?

Re: ??? Proto device ???
 

Excellent.
You know what that means right guys?!?!?!
We now have the power to automate the production line of flashing maemo onto whatever we can grab....
Maemo toasters..
Maemo nightlites ...
Maemo tv remotes...
Maemo alarm clocks...
Maemo intimate electronic appliances...

Why...
we can implement the final directive...
take over the world...

:D
Dave's got it right.

Actually ...
it isn't the fact I've recently been watching whole seasons of it or anything :D
But y'know the one guy
THE one guy who would be all over the old n8x0's and the n900 for it's sheer tinker-ability...
is The Doctor...
as in Doctor Who...
hell I bet he'd use it all the time...
not saying he'd replace his sonic screwdriver or his new sonic shades...
but I bet he'd tweak the hell out of a nxx0...
