Dragonbox, the Pyra's development is handled very open (including the finances) and inclusive towards customers/community.

jonwil: BluRay was made by Sony and because I cant easily rip stuff off Blu-Ray disks or watch disks imported from another region the way I can with DVDs
Google MakeMKV; I use it as part of the process to convert to FLAC, for my personal use, the audio from concert video & audio BLU-Ray discs that I've purchased. MakeMKV also works on DVDs & HD-DVDs (if for some strange reason someone still might own HD-DVDs). There's a lot of information about format shifting one's own lawfully purchased media on VideoHelp.com.

Produced in small numbers, so about 500-550€ without making real profit.
I've spent about 650€ in all on the predecessor and it was worth it. It's like a swiss army knife PC and I regret selling it and hope the Pyra will get enough pre-orders to finally go into production, the prototype is almost finished and all the work with the manufacturers and software is mostly done. The community around this device made the modern port/recompilation of Albion , the DS emulator DraStic and many other great things.

I do like Logitech. Nothing showy, but they make quality stuff in my experience.
Another phone for the "everything is open as much as possible" list is the Neo900. Its not the most powerful phone known to man but everything on the thing is open wherever possible. Its also built so that the bits that cant be open (such as the cellular radio and GPS hardware) are locked down so they cant be used in bad ways. The cellular radio on the Neo900 has no direct access to the main RAM of the system, to the main filesystem or to the speaker/microphone. (so no ability to turn a Neo900 into a listening device remotely in the way the government is supposed to do with other phones). All the radio links (cellular, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth) have physical hardware off switches that disable their ability to send and receive data.

The only piece of essential software on the main CPU that is closed source is the drivers for the PowerVR GPU which are closed source only because no-one has written open drivers yet.

Oh and in regards to Logitech, their keyboards and mice are ok (I am currently typing this on a Logitech K120 keyboard) but their speakers are junk (I owned Logitech speakers in the past but I now only buy Creative Labs speakers since they are so much better than the Logitech)
