Yes, several of my projects use the Dallas DS80C4xx and NXP ones, since
they cost only 8-10 US$/pcs @1000.
But mainly I am switching to 7TDMI but they are ways more expensive with
15-30 US$/pcs @1000. The advantage is, even a small 32 MByte NAND Flash
with 16-32 MByte SDRAM can hold a whole EmDebian installation...
My GSM router (based on Atmel AT91SAM9G20) with four POTs, one S0 (ISDN)
and 4-port Fast-Ethernet switch will have probably enough NAND Flash and
SDRAM to run a full blown EmDebian installation with asterisk on it.
Peoples already have aske me and requested more then 256 MByte of NAND.
(a Micron 512 MByte NAND Flash cost 13.05 US$ for a singel piece)
So, if I know, users like to pay more for hardware, IF they can do more
with it as "only using" I am willing to build the Hardware to this needs
But for me is the question:
Are customers willing to pay sometimes 10-30% more for the hardware?
