Is NEC Coming Back With a New PPC?
NEC has apparently placed an order with a Taiwanese firm, FIC, to produce a XScale version of their MobilePro 300E unit, to be made available in the US in March. The MobilePro initially showed great promise; hopefully, NEC will be able to fix some of the issues this time around.

I assumed NEC was already out of the game. Their first PPC was so unimpressive and sold so poorly, I thought they would leave the field. I hope this next device is more competitve...and cheaper. We'll see I guess.
By the way....IT BETTER HAVE A TRANSFLECTIVE DISPLAY!
Sorry, I just had to do that. :wink:

According to their site, it has a reflective screen. If it was transflective, it sounds like the perfect PDA

Too bad Xscale is not much faster than StrongArm or my overclocked MIPS processor in many scenarios.

Yup, I know about the foxpop link, but thanks for the heads-up  I'm working on a front-page post on this. It's not clear whether or not that's the unit that'll appear in the US.
