Along these lines, if anyone on here is interested in working with a
capable ARM + 802.15.4 radio I suggest the mc13224v from
Freescale. I've been working on an open source project to support it:

It's not as low power as that Jennic part, but it isn't far off. And
you can't beat the price.

You can get hardware from a few places:

  (sold on digikey and mouser)

  (Freescale kits)

but I'm partial to my own:
