M is a poor response to Transmeta's Crusoe CPU, soon to be greatly improved by the Astro series, due out mid-year. Intel is about 2 or 3 years **behind** Transmeta in developing low-heat, fanless & long-life-battery CPUs.
The NEC PowerMate eco runs cool and quiet because it requires no fan. It's powered by a Transmeta Crusoe 5800, speed 900 MHz (with an upgrade coming soon, when Transmeta sells its Astro CPU, in about 6 months). The NEC PowerMate eco contains no dangerous materials in its body and can be disposed easily. For more information, see

Wireless base-station filters employing high-temperature-superconducting materials greatly improve cell-phone service by markedly reducing dropped calls and improving data flow. The devices are manufactured by ISCO International (located outside Chicago), Conductus (in Silicon Valley), and Superconductor Technologies (Santa Barabara). Unfortunately, wireless operators at present only employ a few thousand such filter systems. Hopefully, many more will be put in service soon.
