Microsoft & Qualcomm Getting into the Game?
 
Wall Street Journal at CES: Internet Tablets from Microsoft

Here's a quote from the article:

Quote:

The exact royalty Microsoft charges for software on such devices is not known, but Linux will likely be free, or at least very inexpensive.

On the brighter side, some competition might spawn more innovation.
