A chip like http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/Devices.aspx?dDocName=en545659
this PIC32MX695F512L is $9.58 in single unit quantities and is orders of magnitude more versatile
than the 3 Atmel AVRs in the proposed device. It has a full 32-bit processor (MIPS),
512K of Flash, and 128K of RAM, plus ethernet, USB, serial I/O, etc. Couple it with
a small FPGA and you can build quite a system that sells for less than $50.00 and still
make a little profit.
