Ok, this is going to sound dumb, I know. I'm a total n00b when it comes to PocketPCs... My portable life thus far has been Palm, and I'm ready to move on. Looking around on the internet has found me everything I need in terms of software to replace what I use on the Palm, and more besides.

However, I have a question.

Many programs come in multiple versions compiled for different processors. ARM, SH3, MIPS, etc.

I'm getting a Dell Axim X51V... The proc is listed as an Intel XScale PXA270... So what's that count as?

And if I'm completely off-base together, please correct me. :oops:

I've got a X51v and Both ARM and Xscale version softwares are working well.

The Xscale has an ARM core.
