Chuckz -- well, there are tens of thousands of DIP SX28s available, and I'm presuming lots more will be available when the final orders arrive late this year (but Ken Gracey would have to speak to that). It seems that the surface mount SXes disappeared immediately, most likely because folks with production items stocked up in order to stay in business. If you are more of a hobbyist or one-off developer, that's a different story.

Still it's a shame. I would not look to Parallax for a similar replacement -- there are PICs and AVRs and the like (though not exact replacements, certainly there are oodles of micros in <$4 range that are suitable, and certainly places like AVRfreaks.net offer great support) -- clearly Parallax is migrating to the Propeller, not just for a micro, but as the backbone for many modules. E.g., the new servo controller, which is Prop based.
