CNet.com has an article on the topic relating the handheld devices in the wireless future. Interestingly, among the article’s main focus is on Palm PDA’s “soon-to-be-released” i705 wireless-PDA, an excerpt relating to Intel’s latest processor chip for mobile/handheld devices is mentioned.

“Meanwhile, devices using Microsoft’s Pocket PC operating system, could get a speed and power boost as Intel starts shipping the first chips using its XScale architecture, the successor to the StrongARM chips used in nearly all Pocket PC-based devices. Sources say manufacturers should be able to introduce products using XScale later this quarter.”

In another CNet.com article:

“Intel added that it will launch XScale in the first quarter and that devices running the chip are due out in the first quarter as well. Manufacturers already have samples of XScale, according to Intel.”
