This mbed RFID Tweeter project really shows off the power of the mbed microcontroller platform. With a relativity small program this project is able to read RFID tags and communicate with Twitter to send messages under specific circumstances. The mbed is based on an ARM processor, you can find the full impressive datasheet here (PDF).
