Processor Specialist Promotes Android
,----[ Quote ]
| The use of Android in devices other than cell phones may soon receive a big
| boost courtesy of MIPS Technologies. MIPS, which deals in processor
| architectures and cores, is making the source code of its Android port
| publicly available.
|
| Art Swift, the vice president of marketing at MIPS, explained in a
| statement, "Android presents a compelling value proposition in bringing
| internet connectivity and a broad range of applications to MIPS-based digital
| home devices. We are working closely with customers and partners to ensure
| that critical technologies are available for developers to take advantage of
| Android for consumer electronics."

| Of course, both ARM and Atom double as embedded processors, and the MIPS

| Graphics - offers its own Android MIPS port, and you can visit MIPS
| Technologies' newly open-sourced port here.

| Mips Technologies released the source code on Monday, two months after it
| first said it had ported Android to the 32-bit version of the Mips
| architecture. This architecture is used in set-top boxes, digital TV sets,
| home media players, Internet telephony systems and mobile Internet devices
| (MIDs), and is a rival to the Arm technology on which Android already runs.

Will Android Look Good in a 3-Piece Suit?

| Google is tossing out hints that its Android may be enterprise bound --
| perhaps as early as this year. RIM's BlackBerry currently has the strongest
| creds among professionals, and Apple is loading the iPhone with more
| business-friendly features and functionality. If there's no corner office
| waiting for the Android, is there at least an empty desk?
