As many of the forum members have expressed interest in utilizing an ARM in the development of a project, I thought TI's announcement of their upcoming release of an ARM Cortex-M4F based Launchpad development board for only $4.99 with free shipping to many countries, might be of interest.
Stellaris® ARM® Cortex™- M4F LaunchPad Evaluation Platform
Stellaris® LM4F120H5QR Microcontroller Datasheet
Considering the quite reasonable price, the Stellaris Launchpad could provide an inexpensive introduction to ARM development employing one of the latest ARM architectures, the Cortex-M4F.
The product is due to ship September 25, with a pre-order promotional price of $4.99 USD for a limited time.
UPDATE: It appears the shipping date has been moved to November 9.
