That's sort of the next big thing though... I mean intel is rolling out a brand new heat of tiny processors that are up to 1.6 GHz and FULL motherboards no larger then a business card. Those CPUs and motherboards can run windows or linux without having to alter either OS.
Beyond that they're also very energy efficient which means your battery doesn't need to nuclear powered to keep it going.
Then you have Microsoft talking about Windows 7 being ultra modular to the point where it can be smaller then any previous edition. I think someone was able to get windows95 down to 24 Megs by stripping out practically everything... but I can't be sure what Gate's baseline goal is for it.
Point being ultra mobile PCs with full and regular versions of desktop operating systems are going to be common in the next few years. That is in large part why I think MS isn't spending too much time refining the Windows Mobile platform... They already see it as obsolete.

Most people don't care about the OS just their programs and what it lets them do...
Just about any OS will satisfy most people so long as they can get their programs running and the OS doesn't die on them. All the major OS's are fairly reliable at this point... so that's generally a non issue.

and for running linux on the PPC6800, check the titan forum over at XDA (or the post here for that matter for links) on the android progress to our phones.

Will do...
Do you have any information though about piping control of the PPC's phone to the PC it's currently synced to?... or was I right in thinking it doesn't exist?
