The Arduino api and dev environment has been ported to the TI Launchpad:

It's got a few bugs here and there. But it's really ready to use, and
great for cheapskates (US$4.30 for the Launchpad board, delivered).

Support for TI MSP430 Launchpad is very good, and even more exciting is
the latest versions add Stellaris support. That's the Launchpad with
80MHz ARM Cortex M4 (US$12.99 delivered).

Also supports the FRAM-based Launchpad board.

Makes things very quick to get started, the Arduino builtin functions
make for instant gratification.

TI sells the boards directly with free FedEx shipping to parts of the
world:
