Enough sarcasm for today. Or maybe not. 300 bucks for a PIC is impudent - but well, the people targeted with it are the usual victims of rip-offs. Now it's enough.

Me....

Personally, I think there's a big market for these devices. Further I expect the prices to continue to drop. The devices need to be looked at for what they are, namely first forays into the world of computing/internet. These are not intended to be the only computers the person buying them ever purchases.

It's been a couple of years now since we first started hearing about the PIC and during that time there have been more and more announcements by various companies/groups about adopting them. Personally, I think Hector has big plans to use fab30 in the manufacture of embedded processors and PIC type devices.

In any case the market will determine the viability of the PIC devices. So far they seem to be doing ok.
