If this is true, you may want to bag the blackberry for the rumored Treo 610. A mac and a bluetooth phone adds a lot of functionality to isync/mail/ical and Keynote or PowerPoint (remote control your mac with the phone while you do presentations).
The tech giant plans to announce on Friday that it has started mass production of PowerPCs on the 90-nanometer process, which refers to the average feature size on the chips. (A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.) The PowerPC 970FX, which is used inside IBM's blade servers and Apple Computer's Xserve G5 server, is the first processor to be made with this manufacturing method.
Big Blue is expected to describe a 2.5GHz version of the chip made on the 90-nanometer process at the International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco next week. PowerPCs on the market today, produced on a 130-nanometer process, top out at 2GHz.

I always figured somebody would get enough RAM in one of these things to figure out where the caching stops, or at least slows down.....Anand has more memory in his system cache than I have in my whole computer :P
