Gary, I have another question for you.

Ever since they acquired the Strongarm core, I have been waiting for Intel to make their move into the "internet appliance" sector.

They're not moving as quickly as I thought they would, and I thought I had figured out why. I thought because the Strongarm was RISC vs. CISC, that all the existing CE apps. were useless. Without any apps. to speak of, and a much smaller pool of ISV's to leverage, Strongarm products would stall.

However, in the limited research I have done, it appears that the Strongarm will run CE. Would you know if this is true? Is CE a plug n play OS for the Strongarm, or does it need to be ported?

I agree with you that a CE/Strongarm product could be very competitive. FWIW, I'm long COMS, but I just like to understand what the competitive landscape looks like. I enjoy your posts because you present viewpoints that sometimes run counter to the raging bulls.

Best Regards,
