"Symbian today announced the port of Symbian OS v6.1 to the Intel® StrongARM* SA-1110 applications processor." This is news? As far as I know, EPOCH only runs on ARM. If you know anything about EPOCH, it is a collection of C++ routines that handle all of the hardware and OS functions. Once a port is done, and as the article notes that there are shipping products using the SA1110, then keeping compatibility is not a big problem. I wonder if Intel pays companies to announce these things. The members of the Symbian consortium already knows this, and it is not something that the buyers of cell phones really care about. So you have to wonder why announcements like this exist, except that Intel has actually paid for it...
