x86 for Android will only hurt Android. Already the market is fractured and software that will only work on one hardware configuration shows up on the market for other devices.

This is only going to get worse when x86 Android tablets/phones start showing up. Pure Dalvik apps will run fine, but any games or other high performance software won't work. All of that type of software is compiled C code instead of Dalvik java and will need to be recompiled from ARM to x86.

This is going to be a nightmare for your average consumer and damage the perception of the Android brand. If Google doesn't do something soon to standardize the experience, the Android mobile space is going to become just as complex and off putting as the desktop that the iPad approach has shown doesn't work on mobile.]]>May 5th 2010 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/]]>May 5th 2010 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/
No it wouldn't. QT is a set of APIs and shared libraries, not an execution platform. A QT app compiled for WIndows still won't run on Linux or OS X. Even an x86 QT app won't run on an ARM Linux platform with QT installed.

When a ARM app gets compiled, it compiles to ARM machine code. There's no way short of emulation to make that run on x86, and it takes a far more powerful processor than an Atom to emulate the x86 ISA and then execute the code in real time.]]>May 5th 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/
Whoops. That should be:

"...emulate the ARM ISA and execute in real time."]]>May 5th 2010 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/May 5th 2010 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/Phone7's code is only in the hands of ms, so intel has absolutely no influence to make it compatible to x86]]>May 5th 2010 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/
I totally agree. WinCE has always been an ARM OS and it's not really suprising to anyone that it doesn't work on x86. Further, why would MS even want it to work on x86? It's not like Intel has proven to anyone that they can make a chip that works well in phone size devices.]]>May 5th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/May 5th 2010 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/Haven't you read Engadgets previous post?

Well, that's sort of a smartphone by today's standards.
And considering the fact that Nokia lists up to 20 days standby, only one week is pretty terrible. ]]>May 5th 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/intels-atom-z6xx-series-isnt-targeting-windows-phone-7-but-f/
Menlow is the next generation of mobile Atoms, and menlo is the MS initiative to replace CE with an x86-compatible NT kernel. Thus menlo will run on menlow???
