The three Gs
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "THOUGHT" @ 01:27 PM
Ed just posted about ARM's release of 1GHz specs for mobile processors. Got me thinking if not the dream handheld is about three Gs:
1 GHz processors are on the way. We'll be seeing 400 MHz processors this year. Given Moore's law, it will be 22-36 months before we have Pocket PCs based on 1 GHz processors. Rumors about new HP Jornadas with 128 MB RAM have reached us. That's four times as much as the best Pocket PC 2000. Give it another 22-36 months... 3G networks are being planned and built throughout the Western world. In the Nordic countries we will see customers using these networks by the end of this year. Another 22-36 months and adoption will be quite high.
Pocket PC using 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM and built-in support for 3G networks! That's three Gs and it will be delivered to you within three years!?
