How much larger are the Strongarm chips?

Has anyone seen one of the new Strongarm CPU's? Are they much larger than the Dragonball? I was wondering if the Edge/M505/Sony T form factor will be viable with the new chips, given that the Strongarm has to be a hotter-running chip.

It would be a shame if we lost the thin form factor of the Edge, etc... I have not seen a truly thin PPC as of yet, but it may be the screen and battery that is the limiting factor, not the CPU.

As far as anyone using the new StrongArm processors with the Palm OS....no one has annonced it. My guess is they will all skip them and go straight to the new ARM processors and PalmOS 5.
