I don't think they are going to be using a StrongARM, but just an ARM
variant.

See:
http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1006-200-6660838.html

(although the comment about ARMs running much faster than DragonBalls
isn't quite true).

BTW: StrongARMs are made by Intel (now, they used to be made by DEC);
when DEC designed the StrongARM they implemented the ARM ISA from the
ground up, unlike other companies who license "cores" from ARM.

My guess is that Motorla will be making the ARM parts for Palm considering
Mot. licensed ARM and has more or less killed their MCore parts.

Thanks,
Speedy2.
