I read the thread on xilinx online shop issues.
So how are the other options? (Altera, Lattice, Actel)
- Priceing on small samples / evaluation boards ..?
- Software is smooth and/or pricey..?
- Have online shop, or _good_ distributors ..? (I live in Europe)
- Reliability (silicon & customer relations) ..?
- Any new fpga manufactor to enter this market soon ..?
