Also, the download links to S3 still work and https://github.com/RadiusNetworks/android-ibeacon-service still contains the old commits (HEAD~2) ... guess not everybody there supports the decision.

I really love the USB powered model, especially for something like PunchClock. No batteries means no dead batteries.

We also released a number of open source projects that can help with projects like this. Including the ibeacon cli (if you are on a mac just `brew install ibeacon`), or if you want more than iOS check out the Android iBeacon Library (https://github.com/RadiusNetworks/android-ibeacon-service).
Sorry for the shameless plug!
In PunchClock: Fun With iBeaconsThere is a open source iBeacon library for Android:
https://github.com/RadiusNetworks/android-ibeacon-service
Decoding the iBeacon packets is quite easy, but you need a device that supports BLE. Currently there are only a handful of Android devices that support it.
