$350 for main board.
200 MHz ARM9
32MB SDRAM
8MB Flash
4 2Amp motor controllers
16 Servo controllers
16 I/O ports
WiFi (extra)
WebCam (extra)
Looks pretty good.
I've got the Basic Stamp, a BoeBot, and the Prop.
The WiFi, WebCam, and the ability to upload software and control the bot on the fly over the Internet is pretty attractive.

The Qwerk is a very powerful system (it is obviously more than just a micro controller) and looks very impressive judging by its features.
It might be a little pricey for some experimenters, but it is definitely a "do all" board.
Judging by its size, it will not quite fit on a Boe Bot, but will easily fit on any of the Lynxmotion Rovers or Tracked platforms.
Also, all the source code is free and they do have a scripting language so you do not have to learn Linux programming if you do not already know how to do so.
Could be interesting.
Nice find.
