Saw this mentioned in the element14 newsletter. (Isn't this one of the
boards Federico mentioned in his talk? But this one seems quite low-end,
so probably a different Freescale board.)

This is only $13 on pre-order:

  The Freescale Freedom development platform is a low-cost evaluation
  and development platform featuring Freescale's newest ARM
  Cortex(TM)-M0+ based Kinetis KL25Z MCUs

  o KL25Z128VLK4--Cortex-M0+ MCU with:
   - 128KB flash, 16KB SRAM
   - Up to 48MHz operation
   - USB full-speed controller
  o Capacitive touch "slider"
  o Freescale MMA8451Q accelerometer
  o Expansion IO form factor accepts peripherals designed for
    Arduino(TM)-compatible hardware

Touch slider? Accelerometer? That's bit different. In comparison,
Arduinos in this price range tend to be very bare bones.
