INTEL going ARM

INTEL going ARM

Intel has gone into the arms race for mobile CPU chips. They've gotten the rights from ARM to produce processors chips and may become a big supplier to all phone manufacturers who uses ARM's designs.

ARM was sold to Japan tech giant Softbank (also one of the top phone carriers in Japan) !  They even produce robots and build smart cars ;) Amazing how things change so rapidly. They are certainly well positioned for Internet-of-Things to come.

Will somebody come up with a new revolutionary design to rival Arm or x86 ? Guess not.

Apps for My Mobile Phone

With the popularity of the iphone and various new smartphones, I've decided to spin off a new blog called "apps for my mobile phone" or http://afmmp.blogspot.com
This new blog will focus on iPhones & Android phones - as I believe Windows mobile & Symbian will likely die a natural death not too long into the future.

Sony Ericsson C905 Cyber-shot

Quadband GSM with EGDE and HSDPA/UMTS slider phone with 8.1megapixel camera with Xenon and LED flashes! Drool. It even has an image stabilizer, face detection, and autofocus to boot. And for all you GPS fans, you can even "geotag" photos you take with the phone. Other features include a 2.4-inch scratch-resistant display, an included 2GB Memory Stick Micro, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (with A2DP support).

Will the camera on this phone be a viable replacement for a pocket digital camera?

But will folks still be swayed to the Apple Iphone camp ? The touch interface is certainly a compelling proposition. If only the IPhone has a 6mp camera to compete. The choice is yours!
