Well imo the pentium chips are utterly worthless for a wearable. (with current battery life times) And even with longer bettery lifetimes why not just go for a solution that last twice as long :-) or some SMP action?? I also looked alot at the strongARM and it seems that if you were willing to hack a bit with the OS you might be able to get one going. For me I am SOL until those evil slow people at PED bring out the new Private Eye. (Every day I drop one more step closer to insanity because of them) But when they do come out it will have given the strongARM linux folks a bit more time!! Bahahah And then yes I become mobile!!!! msew lack of slept induced email :-0
