Rumour Mill: Gateway X100 Comments
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 06:36 AM
A new Pocket PC Thoughts reader named liur168 made a whopper of a first post in our thread about the new Gateway Pocket PC:
"The memory configuration is 32MB Intel StrataFlash Memory and "64MB" low-power DRAM! StrataFlash is a NOR type Flash that supports XIP feature. Thus, it will not need DRAM space for loading PPC software during execution. The CPU is the latest PXA255 (not PXA250) and is turbocharged with a latest graphic acceleration chip (not the older chip). Checkout the overall performance rating when it becomes available!
The LCD panel supports a finer dot pitch with LED front light to minimize the power consumption. Brightness difference between this panel and competing transflective is minimal in my opinion. Last, it comes with a Magnesium alloy enclosure! Insider scoop..."
If the above holds true, that would be a nice device for $300!
