Well, it stays a power consuming x86. I cannot imagine that this already would be an alternative architecture to ARM and so on. Current VIA's take from 500 mW up to 7 W, Intels XScale from 0.1 mW to 1.5W. When you look at the board you see that there is not much space left. It seems there's no GSM, no WiFi, no other chip already.
And as I always say: The only reason for using x86 in small and embedded devices is running Windows. I really don't want to have Windows on my phone. No CE/Mobile, exceptionally no XP/Vista. Do you? :) But I'm impressed that VIA can do a such small x86 mainboard, with x86 cpu, chipset and ram on this little space. 2007/6/9, Joe Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Half the size of pico-ITX? Good grief. It's hard to even imagine a PC motherboard that size. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
