Texas Instruments Launchpad for $4.30

[nabiul]

Ordered two, but they are on back order until next month. I'm thinking about buying an arduino duemilanove seeing as how they are only 30 bucks and the supplied microcontroller has loads more memory than the measely 2kb that the msp430 value line chips come with.

I know about the msp430's higher end chips, but I have no idea how expensive the programming boards are.

Is the TI store the only place to get them? Will they be releasing to local dealers etc?
