I've worked with arduino. All of this is very doable and i'd loe to be involved!

Linux idea is great if your a geek but a small, simple and intuitive way of storing coins securely will really help the mainstream feel comfortable.

Awesome! I've set up a github page for this: https://github.com/bitcoin-idea/bitcoin-savings

It's just an empty folder with a description right now. Feel free to push/pull to it. As I mentioned earlier, I don't have my own Arduino, but I can help with research. I'm familiar with java (and c++) and I already have the bitcoinJ source on my computer. I'm going to keep monitoring this thread for ideas to tie into the project.

(as an aside, I may want to move ideas/dialogue about the project there or reddit/r/bitcoin. The bitcoin.org forum loads insanely slow for me)

Bert:
This idea is a response to a thread I linked to in my first post of this thread. I've yet to see a thread titled "help, my husband died and I can't access our 25k bitcoins". When that happens, someone can address that problem then. Right now the bigger threat to Bitcoin seems to be private key theft via viruses or keyloggers.
