i jus throw my cellphone in water to cool it down
perhaps u should try that too maemo.tit

Re: cpu for mobiles without fan, how it's possible?
 

For some weeks ago I bought an HP mini. Dumbest thing I ever have done :-(

First I did was to get rid of windows 7 and install Meego weekly build on it. But the fan sounded like a JETplan first I thougt it was related to kernel power module not working in Meego or similar but after read some threads on some forums on internet I realised it "normal" on this laptop :-(

I really is one of them that is SO SICK if X86 platform. Now when Arm getting better it hopefully means we can have ARM on more platforms than just small embedded devices.

Hopefully we will see more ARM:s on netbooks/touch HW:s.

I really hope Intel fails with X86 platform on embedded platform cause I doont belive they hjave a chance to vcompete with ARM in case of powerconsumtion.

It means we can get more powerfull cpu in future if a small fan is added!!!!!!!!

Re: cpu for mobiles without fan, how it's possible?
 

The fan is also a sign of heat (=power consumption)

Mobile devices have to be economic on power consumption.
Therefore CPU's with fans have to be avoided.
(and also for the noise.)

There is also another way how you can keep heat away:
A metal box that spreads heat.

I don't think that mobile devices need more power than the n900.
The future has to be that more and more calculations are done on big fixed stations linked by internet.

Google is right.

i really wouldn't say that mobile devices shouldn't be more powerfull then our n900.
many things are laggy and need some time to become smooth,like flash video etc.
i'm really happy that dual core cpus for mobile devices are coming ;)

Re: cpu for mobiles without fan, how it's possible?
 

And there are things like pushing 1080 out of HDMI, 1080 video recording and things like that that the OMAP3430 can't do.

And as the power consumption seem to be great on the first dual core shipping, tegra 2 so i got nothing against them.

Just like 640k was enough for everyone. : ) (Okay, it's a myth, billy g didn't say that)

Google might be right for you, but it's wrong for me. I value my privacy. Software will always expand to fill the available processing power, and then some, so these devices will always require better and more power efficient performance.

I value my privacy too. and as I know google has problem to respect privacy, can you advice me a free host domain that respect my privacy to register my new email? (i prefer, if it exists, in opensource/linux/community. eg: myname@linux.org or myname@fsf.org or myname@ubuntu.com...)
thank you very much!!

IBM thought that the whole wide world would only need about 5 computers (or is that another myth?).

Re: cpu for mobiles without fan, how it's possible?
 

I wouldn't be satisfied even if i could run full scale simulations of cosmic dynamics from the Big Bang to modern times while playing Crisis, downloading a rental store worth of DVD torrents, transcoding a double digits megapixel resolution video and had a post-singularity level AI.
