The 12-bit A/D is a step up.

Anyone know the projected unit cost for one of these? The processor alone is ~$10 (individually)

One can get that microcontroller around $5 a piece with larger quantities (e.g. 10k). Also, the AT91SAM3U has a high-speed USB peripheral. So, the extra circuitry for the serial-to-USB bridge is no longer necessary.

Also, the specs are a bit misleading. The 16 ADC are broken down into half 12-bit and half 10-bit inputs. The article makes it sound like all 16 ADC lines are 12 bits while only 8 of them are.
