Why are we arguing about whether or not crowdfunding and this particular campaign is viable when the question was only using it to point out that the particular SoC was probably cheap? Like *mumble*% of kickstarter projects, it's probably too good to be true, but who here really cares? And if they do, why are we hijacking Jon's question to make that point? IIRC the actual question was where / when will the R8 SoC be available for other device builders? Does anyone actually have any useful info on that?
