"anonabox" - D'ya Think It's Worth It?

I was cruising the Internet when I came across this interesting little gadget:

This little box here is a router, and will automatically route all traffic through Tor, no additional software needed. All you gotta to do is hook it up to a router in the following configuration:
And apparently it isn't just LAN. This thing also supports devices connecting to it wirelessly
Of course, this would slow down your Internet traffic since the data being sent/received has to go through encryption and decryption, and has to travel through a bunch of nodes before reaching you and your intended destination. But as long as your Internet speed is fast, and the Internet speed of the nodes is somewhat fast, you shouldn't notice much of a difference for normal web browsing.
You can get one on IndieGoGo for about 50 bucks:

So for that price, what do you guys think? I myself am a frequent Tor Browser Bundle user (I don't need to be so to speak, but I just am), so I see this as taking it to the next level, as with this I theoretically would not need the Tor Browser Bundle on my computer anymore. Also, I'd be able to use Tor on other devices that do not natively support Tor or have any special software for utilizing the Tor network, like my iPod Touch.
