How much better ?.
Twice as fast than BS2 ?.

I usually need a bit more than ram inside the Basic Stamp. And i've
been trying too make a Palm look a like aplication, for demostration
(using bitmaps on a 128x128 pixels screen), and could not get an
reasonable performance for it with BS2.
Using an PIC16F877 finally i did it. But time and effort for that
task, using PIC assembler, was too much.

However, without a release date i cant wait for it.
But i really expect to see some tips about this next generation of
basic stamps.

Thanks for your answer,

    For legal reasons, we can't give you any details except to say there will be
    a version that will fit the 24-pin BS2 socket (for retrofitting), it is
    several times faster than the BS2p (our fastest) and the PBASIC language has
    undergone a very cool upgrade (beyond the PBASIC 2.5 compiler that we're
    releasing this month).

    That's all I can tell you except to say I've seen early prototypes running
    and they are amazing. I was a BASIC Stamp user/customer for seven years
    before my employment and even I am goofy with excitement over this new dude.
