When you are not using the keypad and the phone is not active, the
processor is probably running at about 6 MHz. With no FPU.

PM Phones - please test on your Java
phone
I keep thinking that there are a lot of cell phones out there, and a lot
of untapped potential.
The one in my pocket (Palm Pre) is running some variant of the ARM
processor at something like 600 MHz, which is a nontrivial amount of CPU.
Palm goofed on the battery (I can go two days, tops), but the rest of
the phone, including WebOS, is pretty cool.
Cell phones as a group are probably second only to smart cards in the
total number of available clock cycles.

was that "boincoid" a year or two ago which was in vogue, and IMHO the same
ones bashing the "usefulness" of mobiles are the ones crowing about how
great GPU's & CUDA & Sony Playstations etc are (completely ignoring the
fact that 99.99999% of real-world science apps won't run on it). Not to
mention that there's all sorts of dubious-benefit computer sciencey stuff
out there trying to turn boinc into some god-awful grid mess. so I'm
willing to keep an open mind about it (and GPU's & grids ;-).
