Not if you want it to be portable you don't! How long do you think a liftable
set of batteries is going to last at >20W just for the CPU :-) ?

Of course, if you can live with a StrongARM, the SA-2 is expected to pull
~500mW at 700mips.... much more reasonable. The SA-1110 pulls ~400mW for
200+mips right now.

Not that I'm biased of course.
