An extremely attractive new family of AVR's.
With both 12 Mbps USB2 OTG, 10/100 Mbps ethernet MAC and up to 512 kB 
flash and external memory control it's capable of some extremely real 
tasks.
Price unknown

>From their information sheet:
32-bit Flash Microcontroller
Based on AVR32 UC core featuring
    512K bytes Flash,
    64 KBytes SRAM,
    10/100 Ethernet MAC,
    full-speed (12 Mbps) USB 2.0 with
    On-The-Go (OTG) capability.

The AT32UC3A0512 also feature SRAM/SDRAM external bus interface.

The AT32UC3A devices deliver 80 Dhrystone MIPS (DMIPS) at 66 MHz and 
consume only 40 mA at 3.3V.

Getting it going:        AVR32 UC3 Software Library The AVR32 AT32UC3 
software library consists of AVR32 UC3 microcontroller drivers, 
software services, and demonstration applications. Each software 
module is provided with full source code, example of usage, rich html 
documentation and ready-to-use projects for the IAR EWAVR32 and GNU 
GCC compilers. It also comes with pre-built workspace for AVR32 
Studio.

Unlike some companies who support proprietary development software 
(but you can use the free stuff if you must) the supported development 
tool chain is AVR32 GNU.
