I fully appreciate that we are talking embedded devices here rather  
than general purpose computers, but when you see the main  visible  
supporter of the technology (Apple) dumping it because PowerPC is  
always way behind the performance curve, I wouldn't be too encouraged  
by a wide-scaled adoption.
