An excellent, entertaining review of the PICkit 3. Video, contains strong language! http://www.eevblog.com/2009/10/21/eevblog-39-pickit-3-programmerdebugger-review It would probably be a worthwhile project to port the PICkit 2 firmware to the PICkit 3. I'm not aware of anyone working on this, but I'll try it if I get a 3.
