The Palms (PalmOS computers) use various flavors of the DragonBall (68000
compatible), from 16MHz to 33MHz (some are overclockable up to 45MHz).
Next year, maybe, the PalmOS computers will move to the StrongARM processor.

They say nothing about the real speed of this thing, an even less about the
possible strength of a chess program.
They have moved to another processor, so I guess for a while you'll have to run
Z80 games on their "32 bits ARM" processor in emulation mode, that could mean
SLOWER.
I guess later there will be a chess program running in the native mode, but how
can you tell how strong it will be?
