You guys crack me up.

First off, this isnt a new product, there was even a talk of a bulk
buy of these his time last year.

Second off, theres no useful software.

Third off, the commercial compilers for the Microchip C stack are
pricey, if you exclude the limited student edition compiler. Unless
I've missed it somewhere, the MicroChip code hasn't been ported to the
lower cost CCS compilers.

Fourth, its unlikely to ever be as good as a webbrick, though it could
be made good enough to be useful.  You could certainly use it as an
I/O device though.  A xAP BSC implemenmtation would be convenient.
But it isnt an alternative to a WebBrick.  Unless someone writes
decent code for it.  Its always about software.

Wake me up when it does something useful.
