What I am wondering with this talk of which chip apple plans to upgrade the iPhone to is how Apple plans to future proof iPhone applications. Will they do a similar thing with making universal apps that can run on ARM/PPC/ATOM?
Perhaps buying this company will allow them to expand the abilities of ARM processors so that they dont have to provide for x86 compatability. However, isnt the whole reason Apple went to intel is that intel could provide mass, low priced chips with a fast moving roadmap? Could apple achieve similar results with PA?
