ARM wants the sub $200 netbook market
,----[ Quote ]
| The combination of ARM with Linux - see Ubuntu's latest release - is almost

"Faster and faster really hasn't paid any real dividends" said Morris, explaining that ARM's latest Cortex offerings and Qualcomm's Snapdragon could match Atom's performance "clock for clock" and deliver a full day's battery life to Atom's paltry one hour, or thereabouts. "If you value daily use, it [Atom] is not going to deliver today," said Morris.
Asked if he could describe what an ARM powered netbook might be like, Morris described something akin to a portable DVD player like, a clamshell device, but with web surfing and WiFi enabled and enough battery life to deliver three entire HD films, back to back.
