The subject item arrived today, and I gotta say it's pretty a pretty
neat idea.  Cypress has combined one of their SMT PSOC chips with one
of their smt USB chips on a tiny little board approximately the size
of a wide 28pin DIP.  With pins, so you can plug it into a 28pin socket.

So what you have is essentially a 28pin PSOC chip that you can program
by plugging it into a USB port; no other programmer required.  It 
reminds
me of those Z8s with piggyback eprom sockets, only this is neater.

It's also clever marketing-wise, perhaps.  It's a 'chip' genuinely 
useful
for evaluation, but not so useful for actual projects (even for a 
hobbyist.)

Now, to figure out what it can do!
