FreeSOC on kickstarter

 Has anyone seen the freeSOC on kickstarter?

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/18182218/freesoc-and-freesoc-mini

It is a development board being funded on kickstarter (it almost reached its goal). I don't like the arduino compatile pinout but the freesoc mini seems quite usable although a bit pricey.

Didn't Dave spent $100 because he judged that to be a top PSoC design.

 they do seem a bit pricey, but what are the prices of those two cypress chips in low quantities?

Also, I think its 4 layer.

Checked on digikey and the CY8C5568 costs $35 in single quantities.  

but drops to $27 - $24 pretty quickly.

 Also, the more I look at the pics the less I like the white soldermask

 and the  CY7C68013A is another $27 in singles, Even at sub 20 in bulk, those two eat up a big chunck I suppose
