> Philips responded to my click same as to yours. So far no samples.

Took 8 weeks for mine to show up.  And then, it was the wrong package.
So, I gave it to Leon as he wanted to make a board for it.  As far as 
we know, Leon has the only MLF that we know of, now.

So, uhhh, breath holding isn't recommended.  Fortunately, Leon, being
a good sport, set me up just fine.

The only people I know of with whom I've had worse luck in getting 
samples would be Ramtron.  Filled in the web form, got a sales call,
spoke for a bit, he said he'd get me some chips, then nothing.  Man,
their uP companion chips look very useful (reset, brownout, RTC,
memory all in one chip), but if you can't get them, what's the point?

Best:
Microchip
Analog Devices
Cypress
