Well... I actually pulled mine apart tonight.
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Sharp_Mobilion_Pro_PV5000A#A_look_inside

My primary objective was to fix a wobbly power socket... but I also took
the time to take snaps of the board & its chips.  In putting the unit
back together again though, it seems I now have some spare screws...
oddly enough, WinCE seems to boot & run ever so slightly faster.

You could say I've made it more efficient by removing parts -- but I
don't think screws count :-)

I'll have to google some of the ICs... I actually thought this would be
using the Philips Poseidon SoC, but no, there's not a single chip with
"Philips" written on it anywhere.  It's mostly Toshiba circuitry -- one
will be responsible for I/O, I know that much. :-)
