Very cool, but what about the $ to manufacture? Things get exponentially(?) harder the smaller it is, especially for custom boards.

Looks like it only has 6 discrete components [0], and the pinout on the MCU looks like a standard QFP [1] (and everything else is on larger pads), so I think that you should be able to manufacture this using standard production techniques/manufacturers. But I know hardly anything about hardware, so I may be completely wrong here.
