Historically, computers have become smaller and smaller. Today, laptops
use cpu's that are as fast as desktop-cpu's.
There's no doubt that handheld computers eventually will incorporate
processors that are much faster than the current models.

Currently, the fastest cpu in a PDA is about 520Mhz.
If Intel's plans of multicore cpu's with maybe hundreds of cores, realized
by 2015, comes true, and the shrinking continues, a handheld computer
could beat Hydra at that time.
