Re: "why HP, others haven't gone with Strong Arm. " HP DID design in a StrongARM CPU in one of their Jornada PDAs - about 1 or 2 years ago. It sold for about $1000 - and was a poor choice, since cheap notebooks were selling for that price. I believe HP switched to Hitachi processors for their cheaper Jornadas.

You have to wonder why HP, others haven't gone with Strong Arm. With iPaq doing so well, especially relative to the industry, you would think that the other folks would be jumping on the Intel PDA bandwagon. iPaq uses Intel's SA1110 processor out of the Hudson Mass fab. That's still on the older DEC process and I doubt if anyone will do a new design on that processor. They'll use XScale instead and have access to all of Intel's fab capacity. Maybe companies are designing around that right now? EP
