Apple isn't the only game in town. I don't remember the source but 90%, or more, of the embedded computers in the automotive industry are PPC based. (I am not sure what Altivec will do for them.) In spite of the majority of the postings on/. the desktop/server market is not the only use for processors.
If you want to run Win3/9X/NT/CE run Intel, or it's clones. If you don't and need to optimize power run motorola.
A good example is that little car thingy that NASA sent to Mars.

I think you are missing the point. The PalmOS and wince are after two different markets.
Palm - The KIS(Keep it simple), Keep it cheap crowd. They want their PDA for quick reference. Color has limited use and limits battery time.
WinCE - The people who think even a laptop is to big, but still need to do major word/doc processing.
Like the "Blue Screen of Bill" is so informative!
Oh, to hell with it..... why can't M$ just die?
