I'm also curious how they came up with the 18 person-month number.
Especially after this press-release quote :
"Using the drag-and-drop AnadigmDesigner(R)2 EDA software, both designs being
demonstrated at The NAMM Show required less than two weeks of development
work to create a first working prototype. "

Did it really take 18+ people to cook this up?  I'd almost be willing to
challenge them, a bunch of the people on this list if supplied with hardware
could exceed that by themselves in under 2 weeks including the quirks in
learning their Dev system. 

Note that I don't count myself in this skillgroup...

I've been intrigued with the thought of "FPAAs" since they started talking
about them, it would be nice if they would cough up at least block diagrams
or design information even if they didn't release the complete software.
