WAU!

I did think that largest devices at online starte are (and will be) S3-400,
having 1500 also listed is nice move!

Can you put some numbers on that ?
If we accept that 250,000 or 500,000 pcs in 2006 is largish volumes,
what is the Xilinx threshold for "small-volume" ?

Is it a price threshold, or a units threshold, and what happens if you
go over it ?

The Xilinx Online Store offers products for near-term delivery, essentially
at the single-unit pricing.  While we would be more than happy to ship
thousands of units at that price, you will receive better pricing through
one of our world-wide sales partners for volumes exceeding 25 units.

I think the online store is meant for sending you really small numbers
of devices, really fast.
That's the Digi-Key model: "Single-unit price, but you have it next
day. No discussion, no rebates, no returns, no support". Ideal for
prototyping.  If you need a hundred, talk to the distributor.
