Though it is cool to see a minute FPGA dev board, I don't see the value proposition here. At $45, it is too expensive to use in a product. What is the killer app for this board?

One can get a significantly more powerful Tang Nano 20K [1] kit on Amazon right now for $31 [2].

People really do not understand how expensive it actually is to do a short production run.
