I don't know if anyone else has seen this yet, but I just ran across 
it.  Analog devices is expanding their microconvertor family to include ARM 
variants.  Quick summary less flash and ram than the LPC (finer grained 
flash), slower clock, better A/D's and they have D/A.

Leon, I wonder if the groups charter shouldn't be expanded to include these 
and the Atmel micros as they become available?  I could argue that they 
shouldn't, but I thought I should pose the suggestion.

I too would argue that it does not make sense to expand the group. 
Consider the group a resource for understanding these parts, 
particularly for those starting out with the part. Having stuff about 
other parts just adds clutter and confusion.

Postings of new parts are entirely appropraite though.

I'm not very keen on this. These devices have their own individual quirks
and it would be better for each of them to have their own forum, if there is
enough interest.

I saw this.  It is not clear how soon they will be shipping.  You have
to contact them since there is nearly no information available on the
web page.

There is already a group for ARM CPUs in general, "arm-user".  It does
not have a lot of activity, so I doubt if anyone would complain if
posts were made about new products.

according to the Analog contact we have they intend to start 
production in October 2004 i.e. parts will be available 3-4 month 
later
now they have engineering samples they send to selected parties only 
if the project is interesting to Analog marketing team :)
