Well in terms of price, their kit DOES NOT come with a GBA so I still believe
the NXT is fairly priced.
I just perused their entire site and this is very close to what I envision the
NXT runtime and development environments. They are using eCos/Redboot to run
applications on the GBA and even demonstrate how to make an outbound connection
from the GBA to a host PC via Bluetooth (you can also make the host a Master).
I actually think now that this kit is a great tool in the interim before the
official NXT release.
