Small correction: Intel didn't buy Digital, but got StrongARM with it's design team (and IIRC some tangentially related products like 21152) as part of settlement of some kind of patent dispute. Also of note is that Success of HTC is to some extent also coming from DEC and it's StrongARM reference platforms (mainly Itsy) which Compaq then commercialized as iPaq which was manufactured by HTC (with pressumably HTC-designed "HTC ASIC" which contained most of the various PDA-specific glue required for StrongARM).
