And while we're at it, I just noticed this product this morning:
http://futurlec.com/ET-ARM_Stamp.shtml

It's a little board called ET-ARM_Stamp module which uses the Philips 
LPC2119 controller.  Not a lot on the board but the price is only USD 
$24.90.  It looks like a cheap way to find out about ARM controllers.

Anyone have any comments on how this controller compares to PICs 
vis-a-vis power consumption, processing power, etc.?
