Freescale announcement heats up speculations about at Apple netbook
,----[ ]
| The vendor also envisages budget notebooks with Ubuntu Linux and i.MX51 under
| people's Christmas trees in 2009.
|
| [...]
|
| The vendor suggests using the Ubuntu Linux operating system and also
| highlights the improved support of Adobe Flash (and AIR) for ARM cores. In
| recent months ARM announced co-operations with Adobe and Canonical to this
| effect. The GPU portion of the i.MX51 is planned to be OpenVR and OpenGL (ES)
| compatible. Linux drivers are also available for PowerVR MBX graphics.
| Pegatron, the component manufacturing division of Asus, is to supply an
| i.MX51 reference netbook.
|
| [...]
|
| Freescale has denied the suggestion that it may be making an Apple Netbook,
| saying "Freescale’s current netbook approach is unambiguously an ARM/Linux
| play, and any suggestion otherwise is inaccurate."
