Ubicom does not lack vision, just go take a look at thier IP line of microcontrollers (the succesor to the SX line of microcontrollers), that are in a word amazing, effectively imitating a 8 way multi-core processor through zero-wait state task switching. Its an impressive line of microcontrollers. But they have marketed the line to large corporations willing to plunk down large amounts of money on development platforms, plus they do all thier sales through distributors. I tried to get the platform when I had more change in my pocket, and the distributor representive was discourteous, dismissive, and downright rude when he found out I was an independent inventor and could not gaurentee upfront that I would be purchasing 10K+ units of the processor. Thats when I said to heck with it and decided to go with the SX.

It would be nice if Parallax could get us into the bigger Ubicom chips.  There are times that I need some more power for number crunching...     ...hint hint parallax...
 

I am a little concerned about Parallax taking over the production of the SX chips. (Actually, the Parallax switch and SXlist going away at the same time bothers me a bit!)  I like the support a lot, and I like the chips a lot. They are great. It's just a nagging feeling that the 'end' is near. Everything that I know about parallax tells me that the chip is going to be around for a long time, but I still have this nagging feeling.
