The Cortex-A8 chips are made with two different manufacturing processes. One provides a recommended speed of ~600MHz, the other provides recommended speeds of 1GHz+. The process used for the Pre, iPhone 3GS and the Pandora (remember the Pandora?) all use this process, AFAICT. This doesn't mean it's underpowered - tests on the Pandora hardware show overclocking (without changing the voltage from the default) of up to 950MHz stable on some units - all (or almost all) have reached 900MHz stable overclock. So really, hitting 1GHz is not terribly impressive - ARM's just finally putting out some chips that use the faster-clocked manufacturing process.

more storage space never hurts.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
