I had tried getting pricing information from them, but they never got back to me. This was right before the announcement about Apple though, so that might have had something to do with it. They do have a reference board available, but I don't know if they will allow you to use that reference board design or not. I didn't look into it. -brian -- "Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries.
