They don't make a chip. They use a CC3000 from TI -- which costs about $10 -- and provide a thing wrapper around TI's own provided driver.

You can take the same CC3000 from TI -- around $11 in low volume -- put it on your board and write your software with their driver.

They basically make a good dev board but for anyone wanting to make anything in a volume beyond 1K they'd use the TI module directly. You don't put a dev board in an end product.

I fail to see how their business is going to scale beyond this.
