Same here.

AFAIK Microchip is planning PIC32 variants with even more internal RAM 
and ROM. Same would be very handy for our (and others) embedded 
controllers.

On the long ruin I am sure that we will see ARM controllers with a GByte 
internal RAM and a serial Flash interface and thus enable hardware 
designers to build a - cheap and easy to do - PCB with only a few 
connections that can run Linux. But up to that point the PIC32 is 
extremely viable.
