Steppin' out in the world, are we
ARM? Shortly after
hearing that OLPC was eying the brand for processors in the XO-2,
Digitimes is now reporting that ARM-based platform makers including Qualcomm and Freescale are looking to
unveil netbooks at this year's Computex trade show in Taipei. Granted, none of this has been confirmed just yet, but we're hearing that a model with Freescale's i.MX51 CPU (the ARM Cortex A8) and a version with Qualcomm's
Snapdragon CPU (to be manufactured by Wistron) will be on hand. Not shockingly, in the same breath we're told that NVIDIA
Tegra-based systems will appear "at a later time." So, is Computex the show where Intel finally takes a little heat in the netbook market? And no, VIA didn't (and doesn't) count.
