Not out until April, so expect to see it after May.

I couldn't say it if is better integrated than the BF561 or not.
I have not yet worked with any omap processors (which appear fairly similar)
so I'll reserve judgement until after I been using it for a while

Sx. Much prefer having hardware peripherals to doing it in software.

Been pretty lucky so far.

I've used pics, cplds , fpgas and the TI chips for work.
The analog devices Ezkits are pretty good, as is the blackfin stamp.

The xilinx spartan3 kits are great value and looking forward to getting my
hands
on one of the S3e kits
XC3S500E, ethernet , lcd(2x16) , 64MB ram , 16MB flash , 2MB spi flash, 2x
rs232, ps/2 , leds , switches
usb platform cable builtin - US$149

Now if only xilinx's website wasn't so flaky - time for them to sack their
database guy.

The digilentinc xupv2pro boards are also good to play with if you
can get your hands on one at education pricing www.digilentinc.com
