They are inexpensive.
No, they cost a lot of time to learn until you can really control hardware (although I am sure, someone else can do it in minutes :). The focus of the Naviboard was not to develop it for the Nanonote. It just happens that everybody thinks it would be a nice fit. So, we lack a volunteer who *already knows* the Nanonote ingredients well enough. And wants to learn and describe for everyone how to really fit the parts together...
