A cool new synth, that is VERY cheap.  $29 assembled & tested cheap.  Saw and square wave, with filter.  MIDI controllable.  I've had it reccomended heartily, and supposedly has a very good 303 emulation.  Apparently a small CS with step sequencer is in the works too.  This is quite an enticing device!  The main downfall however, is $25 shipping, which is why there have been a lot of group orders going around with this.

interesting, but why isnt there a midi jack on any of the pictured units?

Judging from some of the enclosures I've seen, I believe you have to go the DIY route with that.  So use the breakout pins on the board and wire them to a MIDI jack.  Shouldn't be to hard...

hahaha, wouldn't quite call it assembled then wink
still, looks interesting...honestly though, once you add the enclosure, assembly, and crazy $25 shipping, you may as well have tracked down a more full-featured midi controlled synth used
