NRF51822 development kit not recommended for new design

[asma]

Hello Everyone,

I want to start working on nRF51822 development kit for my project. but as mentioned on this site :www.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF51822-Development-Kit

that "Not recommended for new designs, replaced by nRF51 DK and nRF51 Dongle" is it nRF51822 chip production going to be stopped or only nRF51822 Development Kit?.

in place of that it is mentioned to use nRF51 DK and nRF51 Dongle but as mentioned on this link: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

do i need nRFgo Starter Kit with it for development with nRF51 DK kit?

Rev 3 silicon (with 32K of SRAM) makes life so much easier, so if you are starting a new project you really want to go with the new revision and variant.
