There is currently not an ARM Linux library for Skype.

You should add that to the wiki. Perhaps as part of this:

Exactly :)
IHMO there is a direct relation between the instruction set and the
power consumption:
The more complex a processor is the more power it needs.
Yes.

ARM9 is not comparable to C7 (C3 might be somewhere around that) which is not
in the same league as Core2 which again i

So I still see no reason for having a energy comsuming x86-monster
in my phone. :)
If I read all the rumours around iPhone and new UMPC platforms
correctly, Intel is working heavily on lowest power versions of x86-
Instruction set compatible CPUs.
And IMHO there is only a very weak relatio
There are some things that are not true here.
True is, that x86 is on the bottom of popularity, because of the
disadvantages.
Also it's true, that linux runs on x86. Linux's also running on SPARC - but
nobody would use SPARC in a phone, so that is simply no reason for using
x86.
But it is not true
Before we run off and predict that the sky is falling, let's consider
a couple of things:
1. This is a prototype. This is not a product. This is a system that
demonstrates how small you can make a device with the new C7-S
processors. Also... take a look at how many discrete components are
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.
i've heard talk elsewhere of a built in cdma module. that's an odd
choice considering the number of operators switching to gsm, but i
would assume via will change/add to
