1) cheap, low power, narrow DIP format
2) supports RTC crystal on the board
3) supports external sram/fram, maybe it can also suport SPI flash
   for more capacity (the comment suggesting that was from me)
4) FRAM in cpu is very cool, and not available in non-MSP430 devices for
   now.
5) MSP430 architecture might be getting slowly squeezed out by ARM but
   it's still a good fit for low-resource Forth.

Yeah but there are so many YASMB's because they're useful.  This one has
an interesting new combination of features, always a welcome thing.

I've only seen the online pages that you've seen.

Bluetooth seems like a big bureaucratic mess like IRDA was (I was
involved with IRDA way back when).  I've begun to think wifi is a better
choice for many purposes even at low data rates.  I don't know how low
you can get the power consumption though.
