This is no use for PDAs, they've used far more efficient CPU architectures since they were invented. a PDA CPU using 1 watt would be battery suicide.
It is however very impressive on the PC scene, and if people can adjust to it's 500mhz performance (plenty for a "normal" users word processing and email), they'll save themselves a lot of money on electricity.

Nah, I think it will be better off in UMPCs. The battery life will be much improved.

light and not heavy for moveable devices
it can be use in everywhere i thing...

not only would it bring battery life up, it would bring the capabilities up. As low as 500mhz seems, it's pretty damn peppy for small and embedded devices. Good work VIA...

PDAs and advanced cellphones (ie Apple iPhone) already use very efficient and powerful microprocessors such as Analog Devices Blackfin which runs at 600MHz and is highly optimised for Signal Processing applications.

It's also amazing that VIA has so few designers, in comparison to the thousands at Intel and AMD. I have multiple computers that have VIA chips, and they always work well.

This could be awesome for PDAs and cell phones - bringing the battery life up.
