I was almost hoping they'd be upgrading to a 32-bit ARM chip vs. the 8-bit Atmel.

Can anyone recommend ARM boards with similar I/O capabilities to the Arduino? I'm interested in something that you could use for embedded robotics but powerful enough to run a real OS so that you could do real-time image processing.

This has an ARM Cortex A8, it runs Linux, and it is small enough for embedded robotics applications.

Adafruit.com have MicroBuilder LPC1343 boards and the Chumby hacker board. And there's always a Beagleboard

Can anyone recommend a voltage level translator for the Beagleboard?

Edit: to interface between the 1.8V I/O of the OMAP and the 5V I/O commonly used by other devices.

That's pretty sweet. Thanks for posting the link. Now to find something for the TTL serial LCD I have...
