I was looking into the specs of the new h6315 - I loved the PPC4100, but the lack of BT and the hard buttons really limited me in the way I wanted to use it. The 6315 with 802.11b (There's a few pubs around here that have free WiFi), BT (for a wireless headset) and d-pad+buttons (OK, it's for games) almost seems like the perfect device... but.

The OMAP 1510 processor looks like it's only 200MHz. Running things like PocketSNES required the sound off on the PPC4100's 400MHz processor in order to get a decent framerate - why would HP create such nearly perfect a device, but choose such a slow processor for it?

Please... somebody prove me wrong here...

One reason - Battery Power

The Faster the Battery, the More Power it drains
