The no-fan is awesome, unless the laptop has a 50°C (122°F/323,15°K) equilibrium with its surface.

Google obviously wants to take a share of Microsofts PC market. Rather than building an Operating System and working towards a mobile version, they are working their way up form a mobile operating system, since most of our new technology has a mobile slant to it. I think android for these netbooks (or smartbooks) is something we should keep our eye on. Until we have our hands on a fully functional refined version of Android of a netbook, we will not understand if its a powerful tool or just another flop OS on a netbook to get around Microsoft's high licensing fees.

Leave it to a third party to release a 1.5 Ghz dual-core processor before you could even pry a dual atom out of Intel's dead hands. Whatever, it runs Linux, has hardware HD support, 3D acceleration and will eventually support AIGLX(well if it has a hardware shader), I am sold.

Read his post carefully, and you will realise you've misread his statement originally.

Windows *MOBILE* 7 could easily run on this, as WinMo supports the ARM architecture. However, I agree with the point being made about using an existing keyboard to come up with this prototype.

I have no doubt one day we will see WinMo 7 and Snapdragon together, because there is nothing stopping this from happening. Then we'll have better GPS support (since there are so many mapping solutions for WM) and access to hundreds of other programs.]]>Jun 1st 2009 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/

You are aware that Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 7 are completely different products, right? Win7 = x86, WM7 = continuation of WM5, WM6, WM6.1, WM6.5 for various smartphone platforms (like Snapdragon!).]]>Jun 1st 2009 6:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/Jun 1st 2009 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/Jun 1st 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/Jun 1st 2009 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/

The reason all netbooks have crappy, low-res screens is that due to the wintel monopoly, M$ dictates (with Intel's happy acquiescence) that if the OEM is to have a cheap XP / 7 starter edition license, then you have to put it on crappy hardware - i.e. woefully underpowered Atom rubbish, dire integrated graphics and maximum screen res. of 10..x6.. at 10".

ARM based platforms and Linux are a way out of this dreadfully anti-competitive practice. What's more, the latest generations are much higher performance than their x86 counterparts and way lower power draw. Their integrated graphics are also more powerful (whether they be PowerVR or ARM's own design) than equivalent NVIDIA / ATI discrete parts.]]>Jun 1st 2009 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/Jun 1st 2009 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/01/video-fanless-eee-pc-running-android-on-1ghz-snapdragon-oh-my/
