It's as Patrick has already said very similar to a rabbit, a little
smaller, and without some of the IO capabilities.

I think it's a classic case of marketing getting ahead of the game.

Depends which unit, and at what volume, but the 2200 is $55 for 1off.
However I can tell you that like the Wiznet developer software Ian Bird has
talked
about the developer software for X-Port is likely to be close to $1000, I
could of
course be proved wrong on this.
