Hey Jes, would be glad to get your insights on echopen.org 's project still =)
Electronics wise, we are using a single element, mechanically translated (similar to the atl access pv10 probe) - then with a single element you can cut on the price (so far our prototype parts costs 250$/300$) while still giving a basic image for the user, who doesn't all the time need all the feature of a high-end ultrasound scanner =)
