	            	            To answer Joshua's earlier question: You can use the eZ430 to communicate with standards-based devices.  As an example, see this page:

	            	            I can't be certain but, having scanned the users manual, it appears that the eZ430 does not support standards-based communication. (Can anyone confirm or refute that observation?) If this is the case then, if you develop a device based on this MCU + radio, you must develop both ends of the link. You can't develop, for example, a device that can communicate with, interrogate, or control other standards-based RF devices. This isn't the end of the world but, historically, devices that require one company's products to occupy both ends of a link do not fare as well in the market as devices that work and play well with others.
