The Register: IBM preps Transmeta notebook

"IBM says it will show off a ThinkPad using Transmeta's Crusoe low-power chip at PC Expo this month, but has stopped short of committing to use the processor in its flagship notebook line."

"Nevertheless, it's the closest Transmeta has got to announcing an OEM manufacturer of the "all-day-on Windows notebooks", for which the Crusoe TM5400 was designed."

"While much attention has been on Transmeta's design wins for lightweight Linux web appliances, most notably with Gateway/AOL, no OEM has yet to use Crusoe in full-blown Wintel notebooks."
