People don't use the BASIC Stamp because it is cheap, so don't compete on price alone. To make a similar product viable you'll need to develop an educational program and accessory hardware with lots of free documentation and code examples. That's your best advice! Took us about fifteen years to do that. Save people time and offer excellent support.

As for the technical aspect, how about using the Propeller? You could skip the whole single-threaded design entirely. The language interpreter is already done and the software modules you mentioned exist. All you need is a form factor of a BS2. 

This question would be best asked in the BASIC Stamp or Sandbox forums, too, as this thread has strayed beyond the poster's original question.
