That is correct, my experience too.

Up until year 2000, all PDAs with Microsoft OS (WinCE or PocketPC) were
working with MIPS, SH-3 and ARM. But in 2001 MS moved to support Intel
StrongARM only (see
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/09/07/ms_pocketpc_2002_kills_hitachi/),
probably because of a company agreement with Intel and having little to do
with technology. In any case, that moved Hitachi SH-3 and MIPS out of the
picture for PDA and upcoming smartphones.

I remember having to produce three different binaries to distribute in
those MS platforms...

However, MIPS32 Au1250 and Au1300 is used in lot of consumer Tablet and
video players, it is just they no longer fight for "MIPS inside" kind of
thing.
