It definitely looks like an interesting device, and at a good price too. Having said that, the module is small partially because it doesn't contain an aerial - which would make it a bit of a nightmare to use. I'm sure someone will be around with a version with an aerial soon.
Very interesting about the built-in Lua though. Nice to see some manufacturers making the effort to actually ship with an easy to use interpreted language, rather than relying on the community.
I guess the question is whether it'll really add much over the ESP8266 - the lack of external flash chip should help with power consumption and final cost though I guess.
