    Apple should look into China to raise it's market share. 1.2 billion people out there, hey they can't afford food some of them but Apple has always been big with the pinkos

    hmmmm

    When the iPaq first came out Sharp or Samsung (I can't remember) tried to make a PDA with the same specs as an iPaq and called it the Yopa (or was it the Yopia - Something like that). I don't think it will fly.

    StrongARM

    Yup, Intel makes the StrongARM. It's the required processor for the MS Pocket PC OS, used on the iPAQ, among others.
