re:Why has Intel fallen more than other techs? AMD has fallen a biggest % from its highs than Intel...its amusing to see all the usual AMD-ite suspects on this thread bashing Intel while AMD has fared worse. Intel is about to launch 2 new platforms (P4, Itanium) that will drive growth for the company for the next 5+ years...2 years from now, today's price will cheap. Buy all you can in the low 40s....i am. Joey

You may be right about the wireless angle. Look at Handspring (HAND) or even Palm (PALM). I bought a Handspring Visor in June and HAND was at 26. For a moment I thought "Hmmm" but I hesitated. Now, HAND is at 67.5!!! There are countless other examples. -Lissette

middle of nothing - Re: ". How many mobile telephones or PDAs do you know which run on Intel's chips? None?" PDA's ? How about Compaq's entire iPAQ line - that runs on Intel's StrongARM. "Cnet, the San Francisco technology news service that was first to report on the product's soaring eBay prices, gave it an "Editors' Choice" award. The 6.3-ounce iPaq features more memory (32 megabytes) and a faster processor (a 206-megahertz Intel StrongARM chip) than any of Palm's offerings. " In the future, Handspring has implied that they will be switching to Intel's new XtrongARM - the XSCALE. Paul {============================} sfgate.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- July 15, 2000 (SF Chronicle) Compaq iPaq Gives Palm Competition Henry Norr, Chronicle Staff Writer Palm Inc. remains the runaway leader in the growing market for handheld computers, but that's not stopping dozens of eBay users from paying big bucks for a new model from Compaq that uses Microsoft's competing Pocket PC software. Compaq's iPaq Pocket PC, the Houston computer giant's latest entry in the handheld race, went on sale in June at an estimated street price of $499. But with limited supplies, eager buyers have turned to the auction site and bid up prices on the scarce product to stratospheric levels -- as much as $1,525. In recent weeks, 35 of the hot new PDAs have been sold on the auction site at an average price of more than $800. Eight buyers have paid more than twice the expected retail price, placing winning bids of $1,000 or more. The highest bid yet came from a user with the screen name jo-e, who bought one of the units July 6 for a stunning $1,525. Jo-e and other iPaq bidders could not be immediately reached for comment. "We're seeing just overwhelming demand for the product," said Nora Hahn, spokeswoman for Compaq. "We started shipping on June 1, as we said we would, and we're on plan. But we're so overwhelmed with demand that it's going to be a while before we catch up." She said the company continues to ship the devices, mainly to online outlets, but most still haven't been able to fulfill all their back orders. Handhelds based on the Pocket PC operating system and its predecessor, Windows CE, so far haven't made much of a dent in Palm's domination of the PDA market, but many analysts and reviewers have said the new iPaq stands the best chance yet of doing so. Cnet, the San Francisco technology news service that was first to report on the product's soaring eBay prices, gave it an "Editors' Choice" award. The 6.3-ounce iPaq features more memory (32 megabytes) and a faster processor (a 206-megahertz Intel StrongARM chip) than any of Palm's offerings. It has a bigger, brighter color screen and a sleeker design than Palm's only color model, the $449 IIIc. It comes with a variety of miniaturized Microsoft applications, including a Web browser and a program than can play MP3 tunes and other kinds of digital music through the device's stereo headphone port.
