yes I'm sure christophe, but I also noticed that strength doesn't go up much
past 66mhz dragonball vz, If I were to purchase a new palm now, I would be
compelled to buy a lower grade sony w/ 66 mhz processor it would seem like the
best buy for the money at least untill palm ct. gets optimized for xscale. Any
idea when this will be? also what kind of boost in rating should we expect?
