The APC’s spec includes a VIA WonderMedia ARM 11 processor at its
core, 512MB DDR3 RAM, 2GB of on-board flash storage, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a microSD
slot, Ethernet port, and both VGA and HDMI display ports. As for power
consumption, it tops out at 13 watts under load and 4 watts when idle.
The
ARM 11 SoC being used is the WonderMedia WM8750, which runs at 800MHz, supports
OpenGL-ES 2.0, and includes H.264 video encoding and 720p video
playback.
[...]
VIA is taking pre-orders for the APC now and hopes to
start shipping the boards in early July.

Mageia Linux Version is here and it looks great (posting from Mageia 2 live cd)

I did not like where Mandriva was going. Now switching to Mageia definitely.

| I could be wrong... But in the aftermath of the Mosaid-Nokia patent deal I have
to wonder if the Rockstar Consortium is the one opening the Mosaid Pandora box
as a proxy for Microsoft and Apple, or if they (Apple,Microsoft) will have the
guts to stand up to the public backlash that would surely follow.
The
patent extortion concept is simple, (1) buy up a bunch of broadly worded patents
from a large but failing company, (2) hire a company to reverse engineer *all*
the successful products brought to market, (3) hire a crew of conscienceless
lawyers to twist a few arms and break kneecaps, (4) and aim your legal patent
arsenal at those successful companies. As I see it, so far we have (1) and (2)
going down, so apparently (3) and (4) are just a matter of time.
I though
the Mosaid-Nokia deal forbade this kind of use for the patent portfolio? Wasn't
it just supposed to be a cross licensing? Maybe this is not Mosaid, but it sure
smells like it.

DRM - As a "solution", it solves the wrong
problem; As a "technology" its only 'logically' infeasible. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The Brits could also read the Japanese codes. No wonder it was all
kept secret for so long!
