Great article Jason, thanks for taking all the time to compare these devices. This sure proves what all lot of has have been thinking about performance improvements with 2003.

I guess the one thing that seems to hit me in the face is how much of a fraud the 400 Mhz X-Scale CPU is. It seems we would all be cruising along in the left lane if Intel had just decided to continue developing/improving the original StrongArm CPU's rather than forcing a new technology down our throats.

This bears out when you compare the lower-clocked 1940 with the Samsung chip to the higher clocked 2215 as well.

AND -- what the heck did they do to the graphics system on my beloved 2215? How could HP gone that far back in this area. It seems all we hear about is the multimedia capabilities of the device and how it is meant as a "consumer" device. Someone dropped the ball on the graphics side of things.
