Garmin-Asus nüvifone G60 to rock LiMo, launch in 1H 2009 {Engadget}
Apr 17th 2009 10:18PM As long as carriers are involved, expect to wait a while. Maemo is about as close to your requirements as it gets for the time being, though.
PRETEC pointlessly announces world's first SDXC card without a ship date {Engadget}
Mar 6th 2009 7:45AM The 32GB limit on SDHC is purely an artificial one. First, the SDHC specification sets aside 22 bits of the 128-bit identification string for addressing the memory in increments of 512 bytes, but only 16 of these bits are allowed to be used. Second, FAT32 will have trouble addressing more than 32GBs on memory-limited consumer devices like cameras and MP3 players (Windows requires NTFS for formatting anything over 32GB, too). So, SDXC is a software-only standard change. The rest of those 22 bits are permitted to be used and the filesystem is switched to exFAT (which, aside from being an evil, patent ridden, proprietary piece of crap, can efficiently address more than 32GB).
As Linux has addressed all 22 bits for SDHC from the beginning, practically any Linux device that supports SDHC shouldn't have any issue with SDXC, you'll just need to use a real filesystem (EXT3 is a good choice).
Maemo 5 gets Alpha SDK, Nokia fans rejoice {Engadget}
Mar 3rd 2009 10:17PM daniel, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_development_kit is what application developers use to make the software that ends up in the repository that you use. :)
Nokia N97 carrying over old processor? {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 3rd 2009 1:21AM Yes, loosely_coupled is correct the OMAP2 is ARM11. The N96 is, actually, a dual-CPU ARM9, though.
Also, it's Cortex A8 and Cortex A9. Cortex A9 is completely out of the picture here, as it wont ship until well into 2010.
Nokia working on laptops, ARM-powered MID? {Engadget}
Feb 25th 2009 9:27PM You mean, "what was the mockup artist on some blog on the internet thinking?" That's not a Nokia mockup. . . .
ARM debuts Sparrow multicore netbook processor {Engadget}
Feb 16th 2009 8:11PM So you'd have to have an operating system that's twice as large? Both x86 and armel binaries? I don't think so.
ARM debuts Sparrow multicore netbook processor {Engadget}
Feb 16th 2009 4:46PM OMAP3 was "announced" in 2007, it's been shipping since mid-2008, and handles 720p just fine. Get back to me when Tegra actually ships something.
Prototype Apple Interactive Television Box up for auction: there goes your savings {Engadget}
Jan 24th 2009 8:28AM Clearly you've never used a Newton.
Palm Pre to use Centro-sized battery (Updated) {Engadget}
Jan 16th 2009 4:49AM At idle, the OMAP3 will draw a lot less power than previous ARM SoCs, but its peak consumption will be slightly higher. Battery life is going to be highly dependent on how quickly Palm gets the CPU to idle.
A few more details confirmed on Nokia's next-gen Internet Tablet {Engadget}
Sep 22nd 2008 1:20PM Yes, it supports USB OTG, so it can act as host. The same is true of every other internet tablet released from the 770 to the N810, though. ;)
