my feeling on transmeta is one of that's nice. The Benchmarking of the tranmeta in product as being about a 300mhz pentium 3 is not impressive. My feeling is that all designs will be small with 800x600 screen and a small pain in the ass to use keyboard. I don't think any designs will have 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 size displays. Battery life is also most likely factored in screen size. I don't know considering small size factors vs extended battery life if that transmeta laptops will be all that desireable. As msft oses are piggy going on piggier, over time unless the performance of the processor increases the perceived slowness of the tranmeta system may not be very attractive. Within 2 or 1 year no doubt Intel will have incorporated many of the functional power saving techniques of the transmeta chips. I applaud the technology but I not impressed with the products so far.
