on cellphones...


not seen any laptops or desktop PC's with Android though...

it is more mixed-bag with tablets though...
I had remotely considered getting a tablet which ran an Intel Atom and 
Windows 7, but I am not certain about blowing the $300 on it...

also, there is the question of what exactly I would do with a tablet, 
besides maybe use it like a wacom, that can't be accomplished with a 
laptop or netbook (which I already have).

or such...

On a whole range of ultramobile devices.

In case you didn’t know, unit shipments of smartphones are now level-pegging 
with PCs, and will probably surpass them in the next quarter or two.

Overall, ARM chips outsell x86 4:1, and the disparity is growing.

> it is more mixed-bag with tablets though...

Windows tablets are not selling.

Maybe not, but how many people need a laptop or a desktop? Perhaps the
cell phone "is the computer" and it will plug into something else if
people really want that. Motorola's Android
<http://tinyurl.com/64ok49t> could be the beginning of the personal
computer's future.

I should add that my only knowledge of the Motorola Atrix is via the
web site. I would appreciate comments from someone who has actually
used one despite the fact that it would be way off-topic for this
group.

Lots of people, but more to the point, why would you want to run Android 
on a full-blown PC?

yep... much like the XBox360, a cell phone is not really usable for 
coding, ...

I did try using my netbook before, but given my projects' codebase used 
up nearly the entire HD (actually, a flash-ROM / SSD), and its very slow 
performance, this wasn't really workable either.

thus, a full-sized laptop works much better, even though still sucking 
vs a full PC.


to replace a laptop or desktop PC, would require a cell-phone with 
capabilities on par to a laptop or desktop.

so, the task would partly be to have a cell phone which can run Doom3 
and Quake4 with no lag, has multiple TB of storage space, ... right now 
(several years later, the requirements will be higher).

a cell-phone with performance on-par with a computer from 10 years ago 
is not nearly as impressive from an "oh hell, I am going to replace my 
desktop" sense... (much like "oh yeah... time to break out the Win98 
install CD...").


meanwhile, desktops are really good at sitting on ones' desktop, and 
being relatively powerful, so the desktop is like ones' "home base" of 
computing, and the laptop is like their "mobile camp".

a cell-phone can be more mobile, but is unlikely to be able to replace 
the above if it is weaker than either of the above.


hence, technology forms a gradient...

snipping statements, using them out of context, and responding with 
answers which don't make sense in context, well, this doesn't really buy 
too many points...

but, anyways, I mostly use x86, and mostly on desktop PC and laptop 
environments. x86 does what x86 does on PCs...


and, as for the performance profiles, it doesn't matter whether or not 
x86 competes well with ARM in this market, only their respective 
performance characteristics WRT a particular style of VM implementation.

on x86, there is not a lot of sway either way.
for ARM, who knows?... I am not an expert on ARM.
my guess is it may matter a lot more if typical ARM chips result in, 
say, a relatively higher cost of indirect addressing or memory access 
compared with register access, coupled with a larger number of HW registers.

I was explicitly allowing for this.

I remember reading something to this effect though.

from the stuff I read, both issues came up in the same suit.


I suspect a major possible interpretation:
Google did their own VM, and claimed to support Java with it;
they didn't do things the proper Sun/Oracle way, and properly license 
the VM, and not just omit the parts they didn't want to bother supporting.

Oracle rage-faced... and tried to put the hammer down...


had Google not used the Java trademark though, it is likely that Oracle 
would not have done anything, since it would have essentially been (in a 
mindshare sense) a different and unrelated piece of VM technology.

basically, it is mostly built on Apache's code, rather than the 
Sun/Oracle code, so copyright doesn't work. also, the VM is a different 
piece of technology from the JVM.


the link then is Java, but really, what is Java?...
mostly, it is its name and trademark...

most things that make up the core language: the syntax, semantics, ... 
are all fairly generic:
a fair amount descends from C and C++;
some of the rest is variations on the above.

compilers are not really all that difficult to write (in the greater 
scheme of things...).


also the libraries, which are distinctive mostly due to their particular 
organization and the use of the word 'java' in most of the package 
names, but are not themselves novel...

a language which looked like Java syntax-wise, and had a similar set of 
APIs, would not likely have drawn much attention.

but, instead, Google endorsed Java itself...
this was very possibly near the core of the issue...


had it been called, say, GoogleC, and looked something like:
import goolglec.util.*;

public class MyApp
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		System.out.println("Hello\n");
	}
}

maybe... people would have been like "hey... this sort of looks like 
Java...", but this would likely have been the end of it...


law is a funny thing sometimes...

I have been using usenet for, what, 15 years...

now, the problem with your quoting style is that it often seems to be 
being done in a way which obscures or misrepresents what the person who 
was being responded to actually said, as if one is trying to 
retroactively alter it and responding to this alteration instead of the 
original meaning.

hence, this would appear to be a sort of trolling.

There is also something called Java SE Embedded. Together with LWUIT it 
could be a great platform for mobile devices. The only real problem 
comparing to Android is not technical but simply licencing.

note that Java SE Embedded was outperforming Dalvik on the linked-to 
benchmark...

granted, yes, it would also be nice to see a comparison of things like 
memory footprint and similar, which could be a relevant factor in terms 
of comparisons, but was not provided in the linked benchmark.
