XSCALE & ARM - What's The Difference

[Guest Xenzo1990]

I have been looking for software on handango, and some of the requirments are that the Pocket PC you have has an ARM Proccesor... I know the m500 has an xscale, does this mean I cannot run that piece of software on the m500. Or is the xscale better than the arm proccesor, so it can run programs made for arm and xscale?

I may be wrong, but as far as i know a xscale IS an ARM Processor, I think the "arm" part is just an architecture, like power pc, or x86...

That's the impression I've got too. Once when I asked which version of Pocket TV to go for on here I was told the ARM one...
