I also looked into this, and I have the following reality check to add... If you do not already have the board know that they are selling like hotcakes, and just about everyone goes out of stock faster than you would imagine. Sparkfun is currently out of stock and their last orders had a 3 month turnaround. Digikey is also currently out of stock but has 1900 on order which are expected April 30'th, and another order expected in mid july. They also noted that when they go out of stock it is typically a six weeks turnaround upstream. In a similar vein, IGEP has not returned my emails, and noone has answered their phone in a couple of weeks. So, if you are interested in this make sure you can get all the equiptment (with possible spares) as soon as possible.
