This part was "announced" at the March Embedded Systems Conference (complete with well-done presentations): http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/news/content/file_817.html They remained the most annoying sort of vaporware (not even a data sheet at the philips web site) for quite some time (long enough for me to stop paying attention!) If they're actually shipping, that's swell news. My comment back then was that a TSSOP (only) package was tantamount to excluding a significant (?) part of the traditional market for "low cost" microcontrollers...
