Hi RK,

With the release of the new nRF51 DK and Dongle, the legacy Dev Kit and Eval Kit are not recommended.

However, the new SDK (v7.0) will still support them.

The new nRF51DK and Dongle comes with the nRF51422 XLR3+ which is the latest version of the nRF51 and with 32kB of RAM. With the nRF51422 chip on you should be able to develop both ANT and BLE application.

The new DK kit has 4 buttons and 4 LEDs and it is hardware compatible with the Arduino shield, so you can extend the peripherals (more LED and button for example) pretty easy.
