"devices" sounds a lot like "a whole lot things besides PCs" to me.

ergo, in my view, not appropriate comparison.

Companies like Samsung Motorola and the rest have to work really hard to do that. With every new chip release by TI, FreeScale, ST Micro, Qualcomm this work has to be done again and again by all the companies who want to make the devices.
So these guys want to centralize this activity. Sounds good, but will be really difficult to pull off taking into account all the private IPs and the company secrets involved in these activities.]]>Jun 3rd 2010 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/arm-samsung-ibm-freescale-ti-and-more-join-to-form-linaro-s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/arm-samsung-ibm-freescale-ti-and-more-join-to-form-linaro-s/I think you have the right idea. It's about the level down from Android. The base Linux. This isn't about creating another layer on top of Linux, like Android or MeeGo are.
