Google doesn't necessarily have to "plan" anything -- Dalvik is open source, and so chipset makers should have everything they need to build such accelerators if and when they feel the demand is there. Moreover, to the extent any such planning were to occur, it might be between other OHA members (e.g., Qualcomm and handset manufacturers), not necessarily directly involving Google. And none of it would be information we would be privy to until and unless the parties choose to announce something. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
