The idea is that you can fit multiple processors (up to four, now) and run
software on any of them. Apparently you will be able to have two icon bars -
if you launch software from one it will run on the StrongARM, if you launch
it from the other it can use a 610 (for example).

I say apparently because we have yet to receive any.
