Gloo, which will be licensed to multiple device makers, is available now on one device that runs embedded Linux, and Gloolabs is currently bootstrapping a Gloo developer community.

personally, I use security through crap range. I'm lucky if I get 30ft range, so if anyone is able to eavesdrop, more power to 'em.
