The Esplora looks like an interesting step but as usual, it seems they've kept it all secret before release and as such, missed out on a trick or two - where's the on-board wireless? Hell not even a standard wireless footprint is included.
Yes but the inventive have figured out what pins work for the wireless and put woreless functionality in - see The 21st Century Digital Home: Arduino Esplora interfaced to an Xbee Radio for some details. I'm moving to using the TinkerKit pins as I've done some work with an Adafruit 1.8" TFT display in the "display header" so I need other pins for wireless. Not too many pins available for special purpose use.
