Which phones out now run Windows Mobile and have dual processors? I saw one like 8 months ago, back in early 2008 that had dual PXA270 520mhz processors, which sounded pretty cool...any more development since then?

thanks,

The TI OMAP850 (Wizard) already has two cores in it, an ARM9 and an ARM7 core.

But here's the catch, you can't get at the second one. It is driving the GSM/GPRS part of the phone and can only be accessed from the main core running WM via the RIL (Radio interface Layer API). You cannot reach it or change the code it is running. The original XDA had two separate ARM chips, again one for PPC and one for the phone.
