So far, microchip hasn't been packaging the PIC32 to compete with =20
their 8-bit chips (The original questions was a sort of "a 16 pin ARM =20
is pretty cool but how am I supposed to deal with a 4x4 0.5mm BGA =20
package?" whine.)

Although the PIC24 16-bit chips are certainly encroaching on the =20
8bitters.  I just noticed that there's a PIC24 with 128K of program =20
space and 8K of RAM in a DIP28...
