I wonder if/when they will come up with a demonstration of the Xena/xcore chipset's capabilities.  Otherwise it's going to take a year or two at least before some interesting apps come out that use the chipset after the sale of the X1000 begins (by which time judgement of X1000's success will have already been judged).

It's all very good to say "look! amazing chipset! part of the reason why this is so expensive", but if they want to attract some serious interest, there has to be a demo as well.  No, I'm not talking about a 21st century juggler :)  But in terms of potential customers saying "wow", it needs to be something that has a similar relative impact.

The XMOS chip in the "X1000" will probably be as much fun as the FPGA on the Sam.


You know, if you ever get tired of repeating your general opinion, a bot could be written that does it for you :)
