There have been several articles recently on C-Net and on Wired News about
the latest StrongARM processors from Intel. They have some coming out soon
at 400 and 600 MHz, with the expected ability to have a 1 GHz processor in
the near future. The 400 MHz is expected to use similar power to the
processor in the Newton, if I am understanding these right. All I have to
say is:
AAARRRGGHH!
I doubt that there's any hope of getting the Newton ported to one of these.
Oh, well, I've been wanting a color screen, anyway. Maybe someone will make
a decent Linux handheld with a color screen, running at 600 MHz, with a nice
stylish design. Maybe someone will make a Gnome handheld interface...
As long as I'm dreaming, maybe Apple will recreate the Newton with a color
screen and a core OS which is Carbon compliant, UNIX based, but with the
excellent Newton style interface...
