Hello!
Vanya, he's correct. The iPaqs were always built around the ARM
processor family member. Very few of the MIPS platform was ever a
successful target for the handheld market. Strangely enough the SH one
was also used, but not on a handheld device. Typical target was either
the widget we use to help us find something to watch, or even play
games.

By contrast the MIPS platform was what Broadcom chose as a target to
build their host processors around, the ones from LinkSys are the
famous ones here.

There's more there that I can present, but I believe you're getting it.
