That's neat. The Arduino is simply a board for the Atmel 328 with convenient pin placement etc for experimenting.

To really shrink things you design your own boards with the processor on it like you did.

What do you think about the competing product thats about $299.

Does theirs have more features or are they just after a greater profit margin?
