Lpc2000

Hi Jan,
The situation is a little bit more complicated. You need a SW driver 
for the BGW200. This driver is not readily available. The cost for 
getting it under a support agreement (from a third party design 
house in cooperation with Philips) is surprisingly high.
Further, the design must pass FCC and CE certification RF tests = an 
even bigger hole in your pocket.

From our estimates it's not economical viable to develop a customer 
solution if the volume is less than 5k / year.

Our product at Embedded Artists is designed to be a solution for low-
volume projects where the driver is embedded on the module. The 
module will also have passed FCC and CE tests. The module cost will 
certainly not be as low as just buying the BGW200, but low enough to 
be interesting for many projects.
Watch our homepage for announcements in April.
