Wi-Spy: $99 USB 2.4GHz Spectrum Analyzer

While this isn't everyone's cup-o-tea, those of us that are radio geeks could have a lot of fun with this. It shows frequency activity in the 2.4 GHz band, which can be useful in troubleshooting interference problems between WiFi, Bluetooth, Microwave ovens and the like.

If it was around $50, I'd think about getting one, but $99 is a little too steep for just a toy. This would come in useful for those of you that have a need to do some troubleshooting at work, however.
