The S08QD cpus have been around for a while - they were one of
the target CPUs for Freescale's "Black Widow" design contest
that ended back in July.  Freescale's range of 8-pin cpus
(S08QD, S08QG, RS08) seemed moderately interesting at the time;
the QG08 sets the record (AFAIK) for most flash memory in an
8pin micro (8kB), and with the demise of the ATtiny11, I think
the RS08 has hit the "lowest cost micro" (based on Digikey prices
in q 100 or less.)
