 ok, it looks good.... but what's the pricing like?  or, let me put it
another way: how many pins has it got, and what's the geometry?  if
they have all the interfaces listed on the datasheet as outputs (none
of them multiplexed) i'm guessing around 650 pins, which would place
it somewhere around ... $18 to $25.

 the thing about the EOMA initiative is, unfortunately, that there's
pretty much nothing to hide behind on pricing.  i really don't
understand why CPU manufacturers don't publish pricing.  you can't
make decisions without knowing how much the damn thing costs!
