John - Re: "When did Palm and Intel become "chip partners"?" Intel has been working with Palm for almost 2 years, trying to get them to adopt StrongARM - and then XScale - for their PDAs. Palm has run into internal execution problems, and stayed with the Motorola Dragonball too long - and they have run out of gas with that chip. Unfortunately, this "deal" seems like Palm is now making INTEL port the Palm OS to its own StrongARM processors - instead of Palm doing the porting. It's a cheap way for Palm to do R & D (actually, to NOT do R & D) - and whether Intel gets into this business now depends on Intel's SOFTWARE skills and dedication. Paul
