I've suggested Atmel (www.atmel.com) that they consider it.  That is, 
they could provide us with demoboards, since I think their recent 
ARM-based chip would be up to the task.  Personally, I've worked with 
their AVR chips a lot, and do like them. :)

Will take some time until those people (especially marketing folks? ;P 
) realize that there'd be more than asm/c for programming their 
product.

Imho, amount of on-chip RAM is mostly the limiting factor.
