Hello all.
For those of you who are interested, I have spoken with Greg at Ocean Controls this morning. He is also aware of the frustrations that LittleBird customers are experiencing. If you go to the controllers section of their on-line catalogue at http://www.oceancontrols.com.au/controllers/arduino.htm you will get a good start on what they have.
Greg, who can be contacted at greg@oceancontrols.com.au tells me that they are Australian agents for SparkFun, so it you want something they don't have in Australia, find out the SparkFun number to speed things up, and they will bring it in to Oz and stock some spares.
I hope this helps out !
