Jim, re: Intel StrongArm?

ARM first stood for Acorn Risc Machine, changed to Advanced when Apple and VLSI were invited to invest about 1991

I have followed Acorn/ARM since 1982! This little English design group has been very successful at crafting the "lean and mean" processor, but much less successful at growing wider acceptance for it, or in finding a quality silicon source. As you say VLSI and others have rights to make and market versions of ARM. Then there is Apple's involvement.

This I see as the major problem for ARM with Intel. Intel is reluctant to promote any solution where it does not have full IP control.

Jim - What is complete story the ARM ownership rights at this time? Could you tell us who owns what? I know ARM has done many license deals. Do you feel that Intel has a chance at this late date to gain sufficient control for it to commit to ARM for Windows CE class?
