Sgolds, Re: An x86 embedded could very well run 32-bit Windows and applications, if Microsoft goes in that direction. It would make a much better product!
Actually, Webber showed a video of a company called Taqit (I think) that had a Geode based PDA. For one thing, the device was large and bulky - twice as deep as the standard PDA and larger all around. It did have some PC style outputs, however. Regarding performance, it ran an MPEG video and Microsoft Excel, and both stuttered while loading and playing. It reminded me of the Windows performance back in the days of 486. Geode needs to come a long way before it can run operating systems such as Windows XP the way that a PC can. That's why I think the Pocket PC OS is a better fit for handheld computing, since Microsoft does manage to pare down a number of features to allow it to run better on handheld CPUs.
