FreeScale has some 16-bit microcontrollers with built-in RAM, built-in  
flash, built-in EEPROM, built in A/D converters, etc., and they sell  
them in small quantities for around $10 each.  I don't know anything  
about building circuits for them or programming them.  I just found  
them on the web site after I started out looking for DSPs (which are  
more like $30 each in quantities of 100s).
