InduinoX - New Board in the Making

looks good, but i have three suggestions:

  1. Power
    How about adding a JST Connector instead of that round one? I found it easier handling JST stuff than any other solution ever. With such a plug, like in the duemilanove, you would have always rely on certain hardware but with a JST you could use whatever is available (most of the time anyway)

  2. Spacing
    Looks like your board is Shield compatible: How about adding a second row of holes or headers to make it prototype board compatible? this would ease experimenting a lot.

  3. USB
    I always liked Miniusb more. This is just a personal opinion, but this might be more useful and prototyping friendly as the port you use is quite high...

  4. Jumpers
    Why not using switches like the Seeeduinos do?

  5. Auto Reset
    Is it disableble?

But besides these suggestions the board looks very good for beginners!
