RE: "National's geode"

Hi Scumbria,

Good to see your posts.

Will Geode be a threat to Timna? Are these products targeting the same markets?
[Edit: former is targeting webpads 60/120 designs per NSM thread]
Geode (product name) = Joshua (code name), right?

I'm hearing Geode (NSM) is well-liked (graphics, cost, etc.) by STB [Edit: correction- it was MediaGX the STB folks liked, will this apply to Geode? Probably more so (cost advantage of a PCOAC, etc.), right? Geode has the advantage of providing x86 consistency (vs. StrongARM).

Where does Timna fit in the picture? How are these products different? [Edit: is Timna too high-powered/hot for a webpad? What's Timna's market? Laptops & inexpensive PCs like eMachines?] Your thoughts?

Thanks, and cheers,
Amy J
