It's on Slashdot now :

I agree with Sebastien, partly.

A proprietary SOC with an intent to provide a new computing experience, like
very low cost, could be interesting in itself. From a free hw point of view
there is nothing.

But the $25 claim seems a little dubious unless they speak about bare pcb
and components in a bag. If it's the raw production cost, the final price
will be more around $70.
But all I hope for them, it's it become a new Arduino :-)
