So Intel has a GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA radio stack now?

I wish the incumbent titans shut up whenever they get embarrassed by competitors...]]>Oct 22nd 2008 8:32AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/22/intel-arms-the-reason-the-iphone-sucks/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/22/intel-arms-the-reason-the-iphone-sucks/Just what Intel based CPU should the iPhone use? An Atom? You'd need to carry around a battery bigger than the iPhone itself, on some tether, in order to have a decent battery life. But, I guess, that'd solve the removable battery problem...

ARM's one and ONLY problem is that it's not x86 compatible. Which is only a problem if you care about x86 compatibility.

He is right though, how many fully open ARM devices are there that will run any compiled code in widespread adoption? N8*0? GP2X? Boards sold by digikey? Yep, those are widespread (I'm not being facetious). ARM stuff is locked down way too often and therefore not too smart. Sorry iPhone. ]]>Oct 22nd 2008 1:25PM
