I thought you guys might like to know the Chameleons are now for sale both the AVR and PIC version which each have a Propeller chip, you can see the web pages here:
Chameleon AVR 8-Bit (100% compatible with Arduino)
http://www.xgamestation.com/view_product.php?id=51
Chameleon PIC 16-Bit (95% I/O compatible with Arduino)
http://www.xgamestation.com/view_product.php?id=52
We also designed a BASIC for the systems which compiles on the PC and downloads to the Chameleon running a virtiual machine. So people can program in BASIC, ASM, C/C++. And of course wrote 150+ page books for each system.
The idea is that each system uses a AVR (or PIC) for main control leveraging the huge C/C++ libraries for these two processors, but the Propeller is used as the media server allowing users to write programs that generate NTSC/PAL, VGA, read keyboards, mice, etc. all with a simple API from the host processor over a SPI link.
I hope that this product really showcases the Propeller in a high volume application, and no matter which system people get, it uses a Propeller chip !!!
