Marvell claims the third, low power core handles routine tasks and takes some of the load off the 1.5GHz cores. So basically it’s something like an intern or an office temp.

Can it type? Does it take dictation? Wait until Clinton gets his hands on one of them...

OK. Don’t flame me too much but I want to know why people want to watch HD on small screens? I understand the travel aspect but when I upgraded my home to HD I bought LARGE screen TVs to use the HD technology.

I don’t travel any more but when I did I worked my butt off during the daytime and then ran a few miles, read books and rested after all the meetings. A nice way to decompress.

YMMV.
