That's not the same thing at all.  The Atmel app note discusses 
turning your AVR into a USB _peripheral_, whereas the GHI chip acts as 
a USB _master_ -- a considerably more complex undertaking (although 
just getting the AVR working as a USB peripheral is a pretty 
sophisticated undertaking too).

I'd like the GHI part a lot better if the pricing were more like $10-
$15 per chip (less than the current $35-$40) and the binary image 
license was, say, $10k (more than the current $5K) instead.
