What the heck is Arduino?
Based
on a simple micro-controller board, and
A development environment (IDE) for writing software for the board
Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or
sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects
can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g.
Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled;
the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.
The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing
platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.

get the word right from the horses mouth:

Hardware
Why
use Arduino?
Inexpensive
bought less than $50.00
assemble your own for less than that
Cross Platform IDE (Windows, MAC, Linux)
Open source IDE and extensions
Types
of Arduinos.
