What kind of device do you need? You'll have to give more details to get a useful answer.

Get in touch with some people whose electronics products got funded on Kickstarter. Also have a look on http://www.quirky.com.

Small sensor that can record some measurements than plug into a computer USB port to upload those measurements. Doesn't really need to be super precise or anything, price is the major constraint here.

I will contact some kickstarted folks, good idea there.

thanks.
