    In reply to VIA And ARM Still Trying to Beat Intel Atom And Get Inside Netbook Trousers
    Here's the thing.

    Hardware folks and people with a preferred OS always start with 'I have a better X and so naturally, people will want this...'But end users always go 'I need to do something and this app does it.. does it run on your hardware or OS?'

    Then the hardware/OS types come up with byzantine solutions like emulators or WINE or alternative apps - which are fine solutions for them, because their goal is to get you to use their choice - but is rarely a good solution for the end user. Except that the end user doesn't have any motivation to go through those hoops - they can just use the original hardware/OS the app was intended to run on.

    Which is why ARM just will never take over the netbook market, and why the Apple Tablet (should it end up being an ARM/iPhone OS device) are pretty much doomed to being niche products.

    I love the ARM. Like most RISC processors, the instruction set is orthogonal and, as mentioned, the static core means you can shut the clock off completely to save power. One thing though... how will it run apps written for the Intel processor? Will the Intel apps have to run on top of an emulator?

    Why would I want my TV, which could have a useful life of 10 years or more (before it gets made obsolete by a 3D model) to incorporate a media/computing device which will become obsolete in 1 year?

    this way in a few more dev cycles, they'll be proud to be switching over to a new custom Intel chip.


    Then everyone will be so excited because now it'll be possible to dual boot windows using Bootcamp-iPhone edition (coming soon to an App Store near you!).

    Just a few more years and we won't be using the term "smart phone." I wonder what the new term would be..."Fully functional mini-PC that happens to make phone calls"


    I can't wait till I can play Farcry 2 on my phone. I'd defiantly have throw away my laptop at that point.

    In reply to Adobe, ARM Teaming Up to Optimize Flash on Mobile Devices
    You guys seem to be missing something... there is still no announcement of Flash for the iPhone... all that's happened on that front is Adobe's put the ball in Apple's court and Apple has refused to play with it. Since then Adobe has announced Flash on Android and Windows Mobile.


    I get the feeling that if Adobe really wants Flash on the iPhone they're going to have to go around Apple and put it on Cydia... maybe once people start getting exposed to the "dark side" in order to get Flash, and that move bites into App Store sales, Apple will pay attention and come to the table... or they'll just start suing people.

    "1" for "still no Flash on iPhone while the G1 sails by"; "2" for "perhaps this will change Apple's mind"; "3" for "who am I kidding, Apple won't do anything to hurt its precious App store".

    There was a great article written on why the iPhone will probably never have flash on Wired. You should check it out. http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/11/adobe-flash-on.html.@Gilbert:
