Given the huge number of ARM based controllers out there with extremely competitive prices I think it it better to choose an ARM instead of a larger MSP430 device with a memory kludge. Both can be programmed using GCC toolchains, so code portability isn't an issue. Even porting MSP430 libc to ARM is a piece of cake. Nico Coesel
