Actually they are using Hall Effect "sensors" for position.
From the Atmel page:
"     So, commutation via interrupts becomes simple  if each change of a Hall sensor signal forces an interrupt. Then, the actual set of Hall  sensor signals defines the commutation sector. "
The other ones do the same.
I am not sure why they say "Sensorless".

One question I still have is if steppers can both spin and step, why do both steppers and BLDC motors exist? I seems the stepper is more versatile.
