I know the 8700 currently uses this and seems much faster vs. the 7100 series...

what type of chip will the 8100 have , if any? I know the 4.2 OS will have much better functionality, but didn't know if it would require an Intel chip.

TIA

Chocolate is preferred for those longer work days but I haven't heard anthing to the contrary.

they should feature the xscale chipsets until something else better comes around... i know Intel is selling/has sold the xscale business unit, but that shouldn't halt production or agreements anytime soon (when large companies do this, typically the end-customer (RIM, in this case) never sees a drop or interruption in service - IBM laptops/desktops as a casepoint).
