PocketMatrix

Next year, the supposedly the ARM11 and CE.net will be released. I personally think CE.net will be a flop. Copying off an OS that isn't very inituitive with organizing, on a pocket device isn't a good idea. I have high hopes for ARM11 though. If possible, it should show what the Xscale was supposed to be like.

I heard the Ipaq series has the best battery life (3900\3800\3700). Haven't looked up on it, someone else here will know.

I get 14.9 hours with my iPaq H3955 fully charged. And that's VERY accurate. I charge it once every two weeks, and I use it atleast an hour every day... hey, that adds up to 14 hours over two weeks!

If there is one thing i wanna see in a future PPC is an FPU!!

I think instead of trying to fit a full speed FPU into them why dont developers try fitting a half speed FPU or one that is only on when required! (cos FPU's suck juice from the battery!)

If anyone remembers the old cyrix cpu's youll know what i mean about half speed FPU's!! For the purpose of a multimedia PC this is crap but for PPC just perfect! I mean the clever programmers have got sooooo much out of PPC's without using any kind of FPU hardware.....

Just imagine the possibilites when the PPC's get FPU's!!

Bender, why do you think CE4 will be a flop? I was planning to get a PPC next year, most likely one that would use CE4 when it was out. Dunno what you mean about copying off an OS with a bad interface. Wouldn't CE4 have its own PPC GUI for PPC's, the way CE3 does?


Yeah, an FPU would be nice...

Wouldn't that speed up Quake?
