New CPU

[Crane, Matthew]

For a viable commercial product I would expect the CPU to be first of all the cheapest one that meets the minimal horsepower requirements, and obviously other considerations, such as power consumption.   
 
Would you prefer to run Microsoft office for 30s or have your battery last for a week?

Hi!

I don't know if there were any discussion about this. Today I was looking at the processor and I saw (sadly) that it's got only 200-266MHz. Do you think it is going to enough? 
I get the info from: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_Hardware#Processor

I am guessing that the core team is planning to put a faster CPU in. Do you think, that this CPU would be better?

What CPU are they planning to use?
