I'm not clear on why you chose the MSP430 as representative for TI. It isn't really comparable to the Blackfin; TI markets it as a ultra-low-power MCU. I suspect you meant their TMS320 line.

In his article Analog Devices and your digital BFF (click here), Jim Turley talked about the Blackfin. What do you think?

Blackfin vs. TI
You make a fair point, but I'm sticking with the MSP430 as the nearest comparison. It's a "mixed-signal processor" (in TI's words), meaning it's got the same kind of microcontroller-plus-DSP functionality as ADI's Blackfin. They're both mostly microcontrollers, but with some DSP flavor added.
The TMS320, in contrast, is a full-on DSP. The 'C6000 variants are in a different price and performance range than Blackfin, and some even have floating-point capability. And the DaVinci versions are clearly video processors, again not Blackfin's forte.

No, the 320 is a tiny microcontroller despite the name. If you want something in that range with a controller and DSP together, look at the TI OMAP line. If the price ranges don't match, then good for the leader.
