New 32bit Microcontroller

Figured someone could benefit from this information.

Here is a new 32bit microcontroller with a ton of features.

Interesting a pic micro running at 80mhz I could think of a few uses for this pic mcu's have been around and there is lots of open projects and documentation on Pic MCU's personally all I can say is interesting will I rush out and get one? Simple answer is no.

I will say if I remember correctly though the arm processor there were people running linux on that like gumstix linux or something of that nature rather interesting...

Imagine how cheaply one could build say an MP3 player though with one of these i would think it should be fairly cheap if it hasn't been done already.

Y'all just found out about those?

I picked up a 32 bit PIC on a Microchip Explorer Board around two and a half years ago at a Microchip Seminar.  I came with an interchangeable processor module and a 32 bit Microchip DSP module also.  I have done a lot of development with the PIC products.  I was going to use the DSP as a motor controller but have been so busy with other projects that I haven't got to that one yet.  I have also toyed with the idea of using the DSP to make a home grown audio processor for my guitar.  That would be sweet, my Charvel feeding the DSP preamp feeding a tube power amp, ROCK!

Would love to tinker with one of those myself! Unfortunately I can't garner enough free time to really do much experimenting at all, other than thought or virtual experiments.  :-(

I bought a cheap mp3 player a while back and oh boy, what crappy sound. This was a $10 with 2GB memory from China. My older iRiver with 512 MB plays much, much better, I'm sure due to a sophisticated MPU.

Yes, even with the iPods and such out today, I'd think a talented MPU programmer with digital sound processing knowledge could do even better with one of these little marvels.
