Anyone know what micro is in that new Oral B toothbrush being advertised heavily right now?

It is almost certainly an Elan/EMC, WinBond, or SunPlus. PICs, 8051s, ARMs, etc are far too expensive.

Depends, on the quantity manufactured for a start. PICs can be surprisingly cheap in very large quantities. I found one in a hairdryer once, and we used one in a CO2 detector that was made in million off quantities.
With people like WinBond you will find they are unlikely to do business with you unless your annual spend exceeds USD 1 million.

Could be Atmel Tiny11
The older 1 had a pic in it.
