My PIC assembler class uses a 16F887 on a board with plenty of I/O. 
That's OK for

I'd like to also give my students a taste for a simple and craped 
application - physically small would be nice to emphasise the 
'smallness'. My idea is to used 10F PICs, SMD version, with a 3.8V coin 
cell, and ... something to make it a nice gadget.

Current ideas:
- small LSP to make a 'melody card'
- IR led to make a 'TV remote saturator'
- SMPS comtroller for a power LED

More suggestions?
