  Slightly faster is a modest statement, hehe.  It is about 70% faster
than 400MHz PXA 250 or 206MHz StrongARM in terms of the sends/sec.  I
do feel the difference.

  It kind of is, but it is about $500 equivalent price in Japan.
Which is not so much expensive than, say, iPAQ.  Hope there will be a
chance for you to try it!
