That is exactly opposite to the point I'm making. I'm saying why would NOKIA release Cortex-A9 MeeGo devices instead of releasing Atom ones from the start, if that's their ultimate goal? That should have been clear from my post, I think you read the first sentence then hit the reply button...
Of course x86 phones are happening. But I still don't see the practical benefit.
Opera Mobile 10.1 for Symbian uses JIT (hence the performance increase), but it's still just using the 680MHz ARM11 CPU.
I expect the new Symbian browser, coming out in the first Symbian^3 update, to be fully hardware accelerated and thus have a much higher performance.
The Symbian^3 devices desperately need a new default browser.
Doesn't opera mobile already use hardware acceleration for drawing?
It's probably the same 600MHz CPU Nokia has been using with some keyboard-enabled devices, like X5-01 and the original C5.I think the C5-03 doesn't use the 434 mhz cpu so maybe they moved to something else if they do more s60v5 devices?

Rumoured new Nokia MeeGo smartphone.
New device's specs found in a MeeGo bug report:
This kinda goes in line with the rumours launched two weeks ago, but Arun seemed pretty sure the N9 has an OMAP3, so..
Nothing in that rumoured bug report suggest it relates to an N9, or Nanythingelse. Just that its being developed with Meego, unless there are bits that you didn't quote.
1 -. Of course, anyone could do endless argument loops to try to prove "how wrong I am", but the logic steps are obvious IMO.
could be the N9-01 as opposed to N9-00, sorry just trying to help ;-)
They are investing and prepaying billions to secure their future supply chain (and locking out competitors at the same time). That has little to do with R&D and goes to a different item in their accounting tables.ToTTenTranz said:And how come Apple spends so little? Weren't they reported to be spending billions in new tech? Didn't they buy Intrinsity in 2010? How come the total R&D spending comes down to some 750 million $?
They are investing and prepaying billions to secure their future supply chain (and locking out competitors at the same time). That has little to do with R&D and goes to a different item in their accounting tables.
The Intrinsity buy goes to yet another accounting item, though the expenses to pay their employees should be included after the closing of the deal.
