Yes it will because the processor used by PocketPC computers (StrongARM) is
approximately 10 times faster than the one used in the Palms and compatibles
(DragonBall).

Next year there will be Palms with an ARM core (and probably with a multimedia
enabled OS) and the speed advantage of the PocketPC handhelds will disappear.
I know this does not help you, but I think it's important to know it because
there are more programs for Palm computers then for PocketPC computers.
The PocketPC computers are not expected to have more success than PalmOS
computers (which are leading the market) until 2005.
