    No they aren't. They are in everything from Set-top-box's to Phones, PDA's, routers, washing machines etc.



Do you have any links? The only PPC based product (other than my PowerBook and my BlizzPPC) I've ever seen which wasn't an XBox was an old router I had... Everything else I've seen has been ARM based... I probably have at least 10 ARMs in my house alone! Oh and a MIPS device too...




This digital set top box from Maximum has PPC and it runs on Linux. It has hard drive, usb and ethernet. Perhaps a good basis for OS4.0?
