You must have missed all the discussion about identities. If this device can store thousands safely, it can store an identity safely.
To have a device where my online identity can't be stolen or faked is a huge non-bitcoin killer app. I think one day people will buy a Trezor even though they don't have BTC! (Once it gets a little bit cheaper)

I Trezor my identity a lot!

It's getting toward the end of October, is the plan still to begin shipping Trezors this month?

Blockchain.info a new Chrome Extension will support Trezor.

Any news ? I don't expect to have them right now, but any information will be fine.

If price remains that high for a plastic Trezor, for sure it will never reach the main stream.

Even as person involved in btc I never considered paying *that much* for such piece of hw as Armory serves all my security needs for free.
Just image you had to pay the same for a tan-generator, do you really think online-banking would have made it ?

I'd pay up to $15 for plastic, $25 for metal case version - so a fraction of 1BTC, but that's it.
And I'm involved in btc and might could make use of it from time to time...

Let´s compare it to the FIAT world:

You own 1000$ - no need for a tresor just put them in your wallet

You own 500000$ - can´t put them in your wallet because it won´t fit  Would you buy an ultra safe tresor for 200$ to protect this amount?

You won´t get one for 200$ that is safe enough to protect that amount of money.

Speculating or real?

It will sign transactions within 2 weeks.

I remember me BFL had the plan to develop such a hardware wallet device but maybe they have not the deep knowledge for it or the release date then would be 2024 because it is mucher more complicated as the design of SHA-256 hash operations.

Maybe it would be useful while you travel knowing you can plug it into someones computer, log onto blockchain.info and safely use your BTC. Offline wallets aren't for everyone and not everyone can affort two computers.
