PSoC® lets you build a custom mixed-signal SoC by integrating programmable analog and digital blocks, flexible routing and a microcontroller - all on a single chip. With PSoC 4, you can build your custom SoC with the same PSoC flexibility, now optimized for power and performance with the ARM Cortex™-M0.
The PSoC 4 Pioneer Kit is an easy-to-use and inexpensive development platform enabling you to create unique designs with the flexibility of PSoC 4. Featuring a member of the PSoC 4200 family, this kit gives you the power of an ARM Cortex-M0 combined with the fully customizable analog and digital fabric of the PSoC in the palm of your hands.
Key Features
PSoC® 4200 SoC

Supports an extremely low-leakage hibernate mode consuming only 150nA, and also 20nA best-in-class stop mode
Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test this particular product.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the product.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
I suggest you read some documentation on Cypress site, for example, here is list of peripherals that are readily available in PSoC Creator - http://www.cypress.com/?id=2&rtID=377
Arduino app developments are using libraries such as libraries for XBEE, I2C, Servo, memory, etc,..which kind of make development easier. Is there a plan to support alike in the future in the PSoc Creator?
Not really, one distinguishing feature of PSoC devices (all of them) is programmable logic blocks, like you would get on CPLD or FPGA and analog components, all on the same chip, another feature is in functionality similar to Parallax propeller chips, where any pin can take up any function. To generate supporting files that define programmable logic and functions of pins, you would still need to use PSoC Creator. And I must tell you, PSoC Creator is really nice piece of IDE, it's only deficiency in my eyes it is Windows only.
You might be better asking the question on the mbed forums?
However, the USP (Unique Selling Point) of the PSoC is all the configurable bits; which would be way outside the scope of the standard mbed SDK - so you'd still need the Cypress tools for that part.
With that in mind, I'm not sure how much benefit the mbed SDK would be in this particular case...?
