- Just caught the official announcement this morning. $3995 for
- a 15 inch color, 200MB SPARC (Tsunami). Did I just hear
- a collective heart attack at Intel and Microsoft?
- From the sound of the level of integration, it looks like
- this will make a better palmtop then anything coming out
- of Intel.
-
- P.S. - why is it Intel 486 chips cost $400+ each to make
- while the Tsunami only costs $180? Is it all the 8088
- baggage they have to drag around? Serious question,
- sorry if it sounds like marketing hype for Sun.
