To answer you questions on the Xscale. The XScale is just a type of ARM proccesser developed by Intel. So ARM software will work with it.

Victor,

I had an enormous amount of problems with Acer, involving TI laptops (after Acer bought out TI's line), and with an AcerNote Light 361. They made commitments to send replacement parts, then refused to do so, they lied to me about Microsoft making Win95 rev B available to them, and repeatedly stonewalled me on various issues.

Personally, I doubt I'll ever buy anything from Acer again.

FWIW,

Richard
