That's because intel gave 100 million to symbol to "develop" the intel line!
notice that this development money got to the government through our friends
at GSA

Subject: Palm for GSA contract
My understanding is that Symbol didn't list the 17x0 (Palm OS)
products on their GSA contract, just the 27x0 (CE) products.
This creates a strong bias towards CE in the government markets.
Perhaps someone at Palm should take that up with Symbol!
