According to my information ext. bus devices are due in Q1/04 with the
same functionality as the 64-pin devices that were just announced. The
external external bus is supposed to be the only difference (heard
that in a training provided by Philips). May be it would be a good
idea to use those devices. 
Also pricing is very similar to the devices without bus. Philips is a
litte late to join the race in the ARM market but heck they seem to be
very serious!

Cheers, Bob
