PALM PILOT CODE MORE ROBUST THAN WINDOWS by John C. Dvorak The next generation chip wars will target the chips used in embedded systems and the Wintel desktop duopolists - Intel and Microsoft - aren't about to let this one get away, although both companies trail badly. The hottest machine on the market is the Palm Pilot from 3Com and it's powered by a proprietary OS utilizing the Motorola Dragonball chips. But, in fact, very few owners of the device know that inside is a Motorola chip and the unit itself is somewhat more powerful than the second generation Mac, the 512K. This observation is important because it tells me that a typical Wintel marketing scheme simply won't work, no matter how much FUD Intel and Microsoft spew into the market.
