Ah but I don't begrudge you your behemoths. I just think my end of the 
bar should be catered for too. When I attended the Philips seminar they 
actually stressed that they felt the market between 8 bitters and 32 
bitters was closing, both in price and functionality. I was therefore 
expecting a similar range of products that you might find in a high end 
8 or 16 bit device, with some blurring towards the middle range of 16 
bitters perhaps. There are many applications, like mine, that simply 
require a little raw processing speed, at the lowest power possible. But 
to even approach the peripheral mix available on a medium to high end 8 
or 16 bit device you have to lurch into the higher end of the LPC range. 
To me this seems like a gaping hole in the product line.
