The CPU speed isn\'t doubled in reality. There\'s a bug or two in the CPU which ends up making it run about the same speed as the 5500 in real terms.

I\'ve even emailed some of the guys selling the SL 5600 on ebay asking about the cpu model. They always report PXA250. I\'ve just about given up finding a 5600 w/ a PXA255 or better.  If the SL6000 comes in at a consumer level price ( $500 or so ) then I\'ll look at the new Z.

All of the  the 5660s are PXA250s

No they\'re not. Some more recent ones have shipped with the PXA255.
