I have been following this yahoo group on LPC2xxx since end of last year, and found it very informative. Since many other manufacturers are now bringing out ARM7 based microcontrollers (Atmel, Motorola, OKI, etc), it would be nice to be able to compare between devices of different manufacturers or being able to discuss other options, surpassing the LPC2xxx family. For instance I would be very interested to know about performance/features/tools/experiences for the AT91 MCU's from Atmel. Personally, I find the www.avrfreaks.net <http://www.avrfreaks.net/> website (dedicated to Atmel's AVR series of MCU's) a good example of what could be a website for ARM7 based MCU's.

If anybody at Philips want to improve their online forums, please, please make it available as mailinglist too (or better: a mailing list and a good online archive with good search facilities). Mailinglists have many advantages compared to stupid web forums. You can see it with this yahoo group - I guess most of the people here use the mailinglist feature of yahoogroups and not the webpages.
