Hi Paul, RE: "Sounds like ...a teen ager."
What makes it amazing is the enthused comment didn't come from a teenager (although you're close).
But I think you missed my point on this and this is worth discussing further, because it's one area that might be a bit of an "unknown" with respect to Intel, which is:
Will it be Intel inside or Hitachi inside, say 5 or 10 years from now?
And I don't mean 1 to 3 years from now, since Intel appears to have caught up nicely, but I mean 3+ years.
It's really neat to see folks enthusiastic over high-tech products, but this example in my previous post, made me wonder how successful the US will be with PDAs 3+ years from now, and my point about that is (and this is the point I was making), will it be Intel Inside, regardless of who wins in the PDA world?
The clever device I saw was incredibly inexpensive, out of (I think) Japan, with a Hitachi chip inside.
How do you think Intel stacks up when compared to Hitachi? What exactly is the long-term competitive edge?
Regards,
