Thanks for the first hand info.

I am a professional ASIC/FPGA type and i keep being amazed how people do such 
inovative application with the very limited SX.  It has high speed and very low cost
going for it, and that seams to be the magic ingredients for creativity.

Maybe it is its simplicity that keeps it going.

I think the propeller is interesting but i wish they would have made a single cog chip, 
running at 100Mhz with 4k words of memory.  The cog has a nice instruction set archtecture
it just needs to address more than 513 word of memory and 4k words seams to be a
sweet spot for these applications.  The hub concept is very good but it takes expensive
technology to make it as fast as the basic cog.

cheers,
