| The usual link so you can still find it when it
has scrolled off the page. I think the name needs a big re-think. PengPod?????
Maybe people here can come up with some good suggestions to help them? That
apart, I am astonished at the claimed
features and performance.
Features of the Allwinner A10
include:
1.2ghz Cortex A8 ARM Core
MALI400MP OpenGL ES
2.0 GPU
DDR3 Controller 800MHz 1GB max
2160p
Hardware-accelerated Video playback (4x the resolution of 1080p)2D Accelerated
Graphics Engine
NAND Flash Controller
4 SDIO
interfaces
USB 2.0 Host as well as a 2nd USB-OTG
Interface
24-pin RGB/TTL as well as simultaneous HDMI out
SATA-II 3gb/sec
10/100 Ethernet
a 2nd 24-pin
RGB/TTL interface that is multiplexed (shared) on the same pins for a standard
IDE (PATA) interface.
GPIO, I2C, PWM, Keyboard Matrix (8x8) and much
more.
Completely the opposite of the Jobs philosophy of having no
ugly interfaces, with which I have never agreed. If this machine is as good as
claimed, it really is going to upset the market. Apple and M$ beware! Linus'
joke about world domination may be becoming reality.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Prior art? Only if it could run in a SemiTrailer while
in motion. Then it would be "mobile."

Article link.
If the Telecoms really,
really want the Governments to implement such a thing, I have a request for the
Governments to consider also adding.
Note that I stand against such a
rule as the internet has grown quite well without such a rule in place! I
wouldn't at all be surprised if the infrastructure that supports the internet
isn't far advanced beyond the infrastructure that the telecoms themselves are
responsible for.
But... if the Governments want to implement it, I also
request they add:
1) All software manufacturing - proprietary or otherwise -
must explicitly disclose all points they have built into their software where
the software "phones home" along with the amount of data that is being
sent.
2) All such software must provide a mechanism for which the owner
of the device can view the log of all the data sent and when it was sent in an
easy-to-read human format.
3) All such data billing will be billed to
the software manufacturer.
I don't think it's right for a telecom to
provide me a phone along with their service, then have the software on the phone
providing information back to the telecom itself (thereby having the telecom
spying on me) and then, on top of all that, have me pay for that
communication!
How's that for the perfect business:
You increase how
much information is coming to you from a customer - whether or not they are even
aware of such information - and then you charge them for it!
