Nice!
BTW, with the new Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, you don't need a $100K license to interface with iOS devices anymore: http://www.mkroll.mobi/?page_id=386

While its fairly nice, android support is all over the place. Each manufacturer has their own library. Then you need to factor in all that time spent hooking into the various native code libraries.
With something like micIO all you'd need is a 4 pole minijack and an HTML5 browser. Aka all smartphones minus windows phone (http://caniuse.com/audio-api).
For low bandwidth applications this can be pretty useful. Think about all those wearable electronics.
Obviously work still needs to be done to get micIO to a stable state.
Despite their claims it is not really open source, but you can buy the official dev kit for $100 and it gives you access to the SDK, Soft devices and an SWD programmer (SWD is like JTAG but for ARM).
Great hardware though. The only alternative I've seen is the TI chips and they require the purchase of a $3k compiler!
