Agreed. A dsPIC30F4011 consumes about 150mA during my testing 
of Daniel's bootloader at 32MIPS ( a bit over specification)
without connecting to anything except the RS232 connection.

Maybe need to wait for dsPIC33 for the low power consumption.
But what is dsPIC33? I only know that it is a 3.3V part.

I think the current consumption would be a big issue for a portable player
however.
