Subject: PDA hits 100,000+ NPS

A Dell Axim 400 Mhz (OS Mobile 2003) (overclocked to 472 mhz)  hit 107,566 nodes
per second while testing a beta chess program.  While I am not privilge to name
the program, it will be a significant update for PDA's that run Mobile 2003 on a
X-scale processor.  Early indications are that this is 3.4x faster than the
previously released version running on View Sonic X-Scale 300 Mhz x-scale
running on OS PPC 2002.

A combination of X-scale optimizations in the program, the Mobile 2003 OS and
the fast performace of an Axim 400 Mhz running at 472Mhz result in this very PC
like performance. (granted, not a fast PC by today's standard - but 100K nps is
nothing to sneeze at coming from a PDA)

More details to come when permitted.

Best,

Michael
