Adafruit's Trinket

Looks somewhat inspired by the teensy 2.0 (mini USB -- not micro!, bootloader button). This has a lower price point and an ATTiny instead of atmega32u4. I have a few teensys and find them to be really practical.

Does the ATTiny implement USB or is it bit-banged?

I think it does.

BTW, Teensy 3.0 just recently came out : http://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy3.html

It's only slightly bigger than the 2.0, but you get 3 more PWM pins (10 total) and 34 I/O and 3.3V out.

Plus a 32-bit ARM processor @ 48mhz, and 128k flash.

It looks even more inspired by the DigiSpark: http://digistump.com/products/1

Good question. The type USB implementation is important. There are lots of things you can't do well if the CPU is managing the USB connection in firmware at the same time as running the implementation.
