The Loox actually only uses a 300mhz Xscale. There is a preview of a Hitachi device, running CE.net & a 400mhz cpu (I posted pics somewhere). Either way, the future looks good!

Has the LOOX a 300 or 400MHz processor. The tech specs on fujitsu-siemens site says 400MHz while I've seen on other sites 300MHz. Or is there a difference between the Japanese and European model?
Maybe they upgraded it for the world launch yesterday ;)

The press release from yesterday indicates that they have switched to using the 400 version of the chip

Something completely unreasonable, I'm sure.

Is it going to have USB host capabilities?

now that would be really cool I've got a H3870 and I'd love to be able to just plub in any old USB key board, the targus looks good but to expensive.

Oh yeh i think it's great that there are females participating and I don't think you should bag them.
