Have a good idea for a new product for SFE or Olimex? Let us know!

If you look further down the page you linked to, FTDI already make breakout boards. These are less than $10 at Digikey, so not sure why Sparkfun would bother making their own. Would be nice if Sparkfun stocked them though.

I can at least verify that the FT230X works beautifully for an Arduino bootloader on a 3.3V system, since avrdude now pulses both DTR and RTS for reset.
