Combjelly, Re: I would guess that 2-3 times greater than current Palms is the best you can expect. Someone is developing a PalmOS emulator for Pocket PC. There's an early (non-public) beta version available and apparently it already runs at 80% the speed with an iPAQ (206 MHz ARM) without any optimizations yet. So if even a hobby programmer can pull this off, PALM should do much better. They would be stupid IMO not to go to ARM ASAP. It's probably a good idea anyway to build a completely new OS for ARM processors which feature some sort of "compatibility mode" for old PalmOS applications (somewhat similar to what e.g. MacOS X does).
