PIC32 also has the larger capacity but I'm not sure what it would be used for.

Think of any current consumer electronics - portable media players, handheld games, remote controls, etc. Stuff with color graphic LCDs and/or OLEDs, touchscreens, memory cards, wireless, that do sound, graphics, video, can sense movement/orientation.... BTW, that was a typo on my part, it should be 96kB RAM.

Neat stuff!
I was able to build a CD quality mono wav player with a Nokia 6100
GLCD interface on a PIC18F4520.

Next is a stand alone VGA monitor 8 bit mini video card with a PIC18
and some supporting logic.

I keep running into speed limitations however and someday will need to
upgrade to ARM or FPGA, but first am learning C (C18).
