Arduino-Compatibles on Make:
Phillip Torrone posted in his Soapbox column yesterday: 'My Top 10 Favorite Arduino-Compatible “Clones” and Derivatives' with examples showing the broad spectrum of board variants.

Yesterday I added:
- Femtoduino: Fabio Varesano's tiny 328-based board with .05" pin pitch.

- Minuino is another fine Spikenzie Labs Arduino-compatible board with as few components as possible and the smallest footprint to accommodate shields.
- ReaDIYmate is a Kickstarter project which Seeed is pre-selling, including WiFi, MP3 decoding, a MicroSD slot, and audio amplifier... wow! BUT: the Kickstarter isn't funded yet! Go support this cool board!!
