I asked Grant by mail about this one or two weeks ago.
He's working on it, and it looks like it'll be really fun indeed : a real 
complete monosynth with the usual classic modules (vco, vca, vcf, lfo, 
adsr, s&h) + keyboard in a little package (about 6" x 6"). He's planning an 
additional break out box too to get more modules I/Os.
And it'll certainly be cheap too (he's trying to keep this in the 200$ 
range (without expansion) and even if it ends up with a higher pricetag 
it'll still not be really expensive).
Grant hasn't got any production dates etc. yet but I know that I'll get one 
as soon as they'll be available ;)
He also said that the projected small price & size comes from the fact that 
there will be robotic assembly of the unit + surface mount technology.
