PDABuyersGuide takes the e740 for a spin and does some benchmarking on it - the results, as expected, are mixed. It seems faster in many areas, but can't play video to save its life. Go have a look!
"It seems that the e740 does not run noteably faster than StrongARM 206 MHz processor Pocket PCs such as the iPAQ 3800 series. It most certainly doesn't run twice as fast, as one might first expect given that the XScale runs at 400 MHz and the StrongARM at 206 MHz. Both pocketnow.com and pocketmatrix have posted benchmarks comparing performance of the iPAQ 38xx vs. e740 (and other Pocket PCs using the StrongARM processor). We've run benchmarks using VOBenchmark from Virtual Office Systems and we've recorded the dropped frame rate in some popular movie files using Pocket DivX and have to say that the XScale is not wildly faster than the StrongARM (see Benchmark tables below)."
