Internet powered rapid microcontroller development (mbed.org)

Interesting board. It has ethernet, usb, and can as native interfaces plus the usual sort of stuff one might expect of a microcontroller. 64k ram, 512k flash so it can go places the Arduino can't.

At $50 I'd have ordered two on my first visit to the page to have ready for my next project, but $100 seems steep.


The boards are currently on offer at $60 for preorders from Digikey.

Does anyone think the benefits of online compilation outweigh the possible problems (site downtimes, the company going out of business, etc.)?
