Could this be a new group coding skill?

Is this the PowerDev Polka?! When we know more, we will post the details.

Thinking outside the box!

Mobile network operators and digital distribution -- where it can grow and grow. Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is on to something (Qualcomm owns 43% of Zeebo). With the graphic IP recently acquired from AMD, it not hard to imagine success for Zeebo as the product evolves.

Can You Hear Yourself Think?

Try it...

It would be interesting to discuss the rise and success of Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) with Herbert Marcuse. Marcuse wrote One-Dimensional Man. Google is the world's largest media company as measured in advertising revenue.

Gears are Turning

The next PowerDev Meeting (#6) has been mentioned on dobreprogramy.pl. There is a big difference in the way these Events are perceived in different parts of the world. Most larger technology companies miss out on the meaningful opportunity to be involved with all the good people coming together in such moments.

Anubis on Aura on ARM

Michal Schulz and Michael Grunditz are making progress on the Anubis port to ARM using the Linux Support we provide for the Toshiba TMPA910 Starter Kit. The Toshiba board ships with Aura 2.0 (Aura is System Enablement). We sent them each a TMPA Starter Kit so they would not have to wait for the i.MX515 Kits we will be shipping to selected Developers soon.

PowerDev Meeting and Kit

The next PowerDev Meeting has been scheduled. It will be held 28 – 29 March in Lublin, Poland. The strong organizing team should be as successful with this event as the last one they planned. In addition to the items covered on the Meeting webpage, the rumor is that the Mac mini (PowerPC) MorphOS port will be demonstrated.

In the meanwhile, the first i.MX515 PowerDev Kits

should be on the way to selected Developers.

The first samples of the new PowerDev Kit arrived this past week.

The Show Must Go On

ASUS was founded in 1989 in Taipei, Taiwan — the founders had worked as computer engineers for Acer. The name ASUS originated from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology. The first three letters of the word were dropped to give the final name a high position in alphabetical listings. In 2008, ASUS restructured its operation and Pegatron was formed to manage motherboard and component OEM manufacturing. At CES 2009, Pegatron and Freescale presented a netbook based on the i.MX515 SoC.
