Well, in my experience the Dragonball-based PDAs have had the longest battery life.
Then again, maybe I'm just minimalist? I just tend to think that anything over 100mhz
is severe overkill for a PDA and that 16 or 32mhz should be enough for 90% of anything
you would use a PDA for.
It would still be interesting to know why smartdata chose the Dragonball when chips
like the r3912 are available. Is power consumption the main factor, or are there other
issues?
