France based CrowdSpirit is in beta mode, you can put your ideas for electronics/gadget and they can be voted on or developed. If it gets developed you can also get a share of the revenue. Interesting idea, not sure how/if it will work out - I wonder what the first product will be from this org... anyway check it out, post thoughts in the comments... - [via] Link.

I'd be nervous that either my idea would be completely stolen or certain "contributors" up the chain would get more pay consideration than myself as the original inventor of the product/concept. If I design what it does and how it works, but someone else makes it "pretty", who gets the credit?
