  The Oki chips are very nice parts. They are almost the only company 
selling off-the shelf general purpose ARM7TDMI chips with an SDRAM 
controller (what ARM7 AT91s lack). They were a little bit difficult to 
source in small quantities though, but I think that is improving now. Price 
is very good for medium and large volume projects (between US$5-$10). Nice 
is that they come in QFP and BGA packages.

  Regards.
