Default Dont forget the bus

Everyone talks about Xscale problems but from what i have read the slower bus speed is what really makes the Xscale perform equal or as slow as a 206 strong arm. So lets see the enxt pocket pcs with Xscale and a higher bus speed... Does everyone relize it has been since late 1999 or 2000 that we have had the max speed of the 206 mhz strong arm. Pocekt PC speed hasn't improved since that first 206 mhz IPAQ... that is a very very slow growth in a market... Doees this effect why people aren't buying as many pocket pcs as growth would predict? (I don't know but why upgrade to the newest ipaq's when there not faster and you still need the sleeve for about everything anyways... about all that is new is integrated wifi... or pocket pc phones... and that isn't a very impressive jump for 2 years of technology... The POCKET PC HARDWARE HAS LET ME DOWN FOR AWHILE NOW!
