I backed these kickstarter guys: http://www.rfduino.com/ http://www.rfduino.com/ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1608192864/rfduino-iphone-bluetooth-40-arduino-compatible-boa http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1608192864/rfduino-iphon... They're shipping now so preorders should ship soon though the femtoduino looks fun, think ill buy one. I just like the builtin bluetooth le for the rfduino, means I can do some crazy fun stuff with it and still keep it accessible. Mines on its way.

I'm looking forward to seeing some reviews of these when they start arriving. I'm especially curious to see how well (or rather if) they achieve that Arduino IDE/sketch compatibility, it seems like a point that a lot of ARM-based "arduino compatible" kickstarters have been promising but glossing over. I know that PJRC's (ARM-based) Teensy 3 has had an enormous amount of work put into truly making it compatible, hopefully a lot of that is feeding back into the libraries and main Arduino project in ways that will help all ARM-based Arduino-compatibles. Even without support for Arduino/Wiring, that NRF51822 should be fun to play with! But it looks like NRF51822 breakout boards are already showing up on ebay at about the same price (and with more pins broken out). So I'm not sure if preordering is too interesting at this point if it doesn't deliver on something above and beyond a mere breakout board.
