RE:"If Transmeta can work out their performance issues, their technology will be unbeatable from a power consumption point of view. It is an ideal technology for x86 applications which require long battery life."

I sure like the low battery draw. Possibility of using AA batteries is also very appealing.
Doesn't the Transmeta chip have to emulate x86 hence it's about 30% slower that a Pentium III? What about running Linux, how fast compared to a Pentium III?
