  1. The fastest ARM PDA? by ergo98 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What does that mean in the real world, versus say a 200Mhz Hitachi SH4? It just sounds weird seeing it called the fastest ARM PDA : Sort of like when pickup trucks have the best fuel economy in their category (which could mean that single model of pickup truck...). Will this be a super fast PDA? (And yes, to those who ask it does matter. With GPRS and other high speed connectivity issues real time compression/decompression, etc., matters more, and begs for increased power).

  2. Re:Why the small screen? by RevAaron · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Having the same size screen with a higher resolution and DPI wouldn't cut it either. It still doesn't increase the area on which I have to write on the screen, for real HWR. If anything else, I'd rather have a lower DPI screen at the same (320@240) resolution.
