From their site (linked above): All PS3AVR dongles will be shipped blank so that there are no legal issues with importing and selling these items. Software will be made available to download so they can be programmed from a PC USB port with NO additional hardware.
Finished testing prototype devices on all regions of PS3 both Fat and Slim. Mass production to start and first batch should be available for shipping on the 6th of September.
We've received our first finished batch with protective rubber coating so no chance of shorting the device and damaging the PS3 USB like other designs out there. All dealers will receive their stock within the next 4 working days.

After swapping back in my original 160GB HDD, I was still getting the 8002F281 error. I ended up having to do a full PS3 Reset and reformat of the 160...
This board is based on the AT90USB1286 Chip and can be used for a variety of projects including PSJailbreak and PSGroove. It is the full retail version which has been the protective rubber coating.
I have 200 of these being delivered to me on the 16/17th September, the manufacturer has just emailed me to confirm dispatch
They are shipped blank and you can download the software to program them from their website, this requires a license key which is supplied with the TinyAVR.
I will also be listed as a reseller on their website within the next 24 hours so you can be sure I am a genuine seller with secured stock.
Well we shall see... only time (and me) will tell
