What about implementing an RF200 with the Atmel qtouch lib to enable an external capacitive touch slider & button? A slider with 2 buttons only takes up 10 GPIOs. Maybe this feature request is too specific, I just thought I would throw the idea out there.
I had a plan to make my own PCB with an atmega128rfa1 and the appropriate copper sensors to do a IPv6 (Contiki) capacitive touch led light switch/dimmer. But now that I found your modules, I'll probably scrap making my own RF hardware (way to expensive, difficult and time consuming as a hobby).
I'll probably go with a custom PCB that has an AT42QT2160 (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/product_card.asp?part_id=4463&category_id=170&family_id=697&subfamily_id=2028) on it and a socket for an SNAP engine. The engine can talk to the at42qt2160 via the i2c bus, triggered by the change interrupt pin.
