> Perhaps someone will make an 8-pin ARM chip. 8-)

Last friday, I went to the ATMEL seminar in Philly.
When the ARM presenter finished his talk, he asked
what we'd like to see in new products.  I raised my
hand and said, "A small DIP packeged one."  The room
just laughed.  So, I looked right at the presenter
and said "No, I'm serious."

Once you go to 200+ pins, there are a ton of parts.  
You want to do something different and get customers
that noone else has, go outside of what has been done.
More memory, smaller package, lower cost, etc.  Intel
and many others have the high end pretty much staked
out.  Why be a 'me, too' supplier for things that have
been done?

Cheers,
