Is this a basic stamp in an OEM device?

I was looking through the Canakit.com website and I came across this
listing for a proximity detector circuit.:

in case that gets mangled by word wrap, here's an alternate link:

If you look at the picture, it looks very much like there is a basic
stamp 2 in the center of the circuit board. If so, is this something that
someone has built and could I use one of my Basic Stamps to do something
similar?

Have a look on hvwtech.com's website, they have some RFID devices
there for sale that might be able to do something similar.

Another interesting set of devices are I-Buttons, have a look on
their site: http://www.ibutton.com/ These devices come in many
different configurations with a bunch of different features. They
are a simple 1-wire device doing anything from temperatures to 64-
bit security ID's. All that and they are pretty small too. There are
websites out there that will have info on interfacing the ibuttons
with a stamp. Do a search on google for

ibutton stamp

and you will find lots of info. I believe there even some parallax
dev boards that have built in ibutton interfaces, but I don't recall
for sure at the moment and I do belive the 2P has built in support
for the things.
