I hope this succeeds for the well being of the linux community. It seems like currently there are alot of different arm linux things popping up, linux on arm is really gaining momentum. Of course I also wish this on the other devices as well, such as the raspberryPi.
I hope this year will be the beginning of linux, real linux not andorid, in the main stream!
Well that would be very nice, but I think we are a far way away from actually having non-technically users choose linux over andorid/ios or windows/osx
great, this could be useful for mobile applications which require more control on graphics access performance. Like Augmented Reality and such.
Also might be useful for app-dedicated installations. For example, a set of educational games for little kids, leaving no option for misuse :)
yea and especially because we are closer to the hardware we can use the special ARM neon instruction set, at least i think the AMLogic chip supports them
any idea when they plan to start shipping the hardware? I couldn't find much information
as far as i know in about a month or so, there is a post Aaron did on his blog that said i think early may or something like that, but dont quote me on that, it was with the post about the preorder distribution
