I did not say that Integrated Circuits are marketing bull.. I said that making a PCB for an IC that works like another standard IC package and costs 40 USD is kind of useless. And to market useless things you need some bull***.
The product looks good and I'm sure the quality is good.. but why? I don't see any future for that product.
I think it's cool, and if it is Maximite compatible $40 is ok for something that has colour video out and can run BASIC off the SD card etc.
But I agree the PLCC68 seems a really poor choice! Sales would be mugh higher with a DIL40 PCB size like a Parallax propeller etc, something that could be put into breadboard, stripboard, or a home made PCB with a 40pin DIL socket etc.
