it's not a big breakthrough, it's just that tokens have been low-volume devices purchased by entitied who care a lot about security and so are less sensitive to pricing.

This looks very cool. I have been looking for something like this for
quite a while. It seems very Linux friendly in that it just emulates a
keyboard and outputs the code so it needs no special client software.

Assuming this is all that it is cracked up to be why wasn't this done
ages ago? Was there some technology or manufacturing breakthrough that
enabled this? Why did so many have to tolerate the very expensive and
proprietary SecureID tokens for so long?
