ARM6 and 128K ram

It is hush hush because it hasn't been announced yet. I believe the official announcement is on Monday.

You may want to change that to 128MB RAM. Unfortunately, Bill Gates was wrong about 640K of RAM

This seems consistent with an OMAP 2420 or 2430 chip, the difference between the two being the presence of an embedded DSP. This implies that the new handheld has a 330 MHz CPU, and a 2D/3D graphics and video accelerator (and maybe a DSP). The presence of the video accelerator should alleviate many complaints about the 770 not being able to push video at the native 800x480 resolution of the screen.

It probably uses the DSP version, seeing as the 770 has a DSP, which is used by the built-in audio and video players.
