What’s ARM by the way?

ARM is a 32-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by ARM Holdings. It was known as the Advanced RISC Machine, and before that as the Acorn RISC Machine. The ARM architecture is the most widely used 32-bit ISA in terms of numbers produced.[1][2] They were originally conceived as a processor for desktop personal computers by Acorn Computers, a market now dominated by the x86 family used by IBM PC compatible computers. The relative simplicity of ARM processors made them suitable for low power applications. This has made them dominant in the mobile and embedded electronics market as relatively low cost and smallmicroprocessors and microcontrollers.

This is the first real device coming to market with ARM technology. By the way,  it runs on Linux.

Lenovo will launch and invites us to put in the groove as we await this netbook, with their Lenovo Skylight

model, as Engadget reports. Flat rounded device will be available in the US this April. I don’t know when they will be launched here in the Philippines, lets just wait and see as Lenovo Philippines unveils this here. It cost American people about $500, possibly even lower if a 3G arrangement with AT&T works out.

Lenovo, per its press release, should make the device available in China and Europe later in the year.

The Linux system developed by Lenovo, but not further specified, displays some rather nice gadgets on its screen, 18 of which should be preloaded on the device when it comes out April 18. The integrated ARM processor is rated at 1 GHz, although it’s not clear from the specifications whether it applies to the single- or double-core processsor version
