We have just about had enough of ascii codes, which slowed down all computing. Displays on monitors are defined by layout engine and rendering engines of fonts. Cray Research never did handle 16 cores with matrix switching of cores and protected memory banks. We have used cores, partitions and threads(packets) in realtime. Keyboards are replaced by rotary selector(sugar or apple iphone interface) of formed letters, frequently used sentences, and options inputs?

We can replace ascii codes with more efficient one column of eight vertical pixels(8 bit word) in pixeled pages(framebuffers) of binary codes. All data transfers will be by pixed compressed codes in framebuffers. DTV uses no layout or rendering engines but Mpeg4, and the speed helped to have 6 channels instead of only one broadcast station per carrier frequency.

It is time to get off Nvidia and ATI video processors and go with Mpeg4/h.264 decoding with QoE download accelerator(SYMM has Nokia partnership).

All these changes will be in cellphone mainframe computer design. Prex 0.4 looks like a good foundation. Give it a year or two. But Windows 7 is not going to be small. It is going to be more bloated than Vista. Linux will become more tiny to build on Prex OS for cellphones?

Cellphones having camera sensor will use digital camera LCD for downloading movies as well.

Software(partition matrix switching) DTV(news and re-runs) reception can be installed in USB flash card
on cellphones.

Cellphone is the next and final form factor for computers.

Google Android devices may be delayed until 2009. T-mobile will introduce theirs in the fourth quarter of 2008. Google had 30 partners, and each device may be designed differently. Windriver, the embedded OS people will support all the stacks of Android in 2009 across different OS.

Android is well liked because of support for Omap chipset. GPS had been a feature of cellphones for a few years now.

HTC of Taiwan has a TyTN cellphone(2 panel LCDs) with Windows mobile OS which will add an Android emulation in SD card. They use a dedicated website for their services on the net. HTC may start to cash in during Xmas of 2008 similar to Asus introduction of EeePc. So, the race is on. Android may be delayed, but TyTN has mobile OS working. SD can use matrix switching to offer many more features into the TyTN cellphones. High end TyTN may use higher resolution LCD panels.

Android may have to work out an energy savings multi ARM core solution to extend battery life?

Google had been sneaky on the 700 mhz bandwidth(Verizon bought from FCC) and white space(interactive communications) among DTV stations. So, we can expect the cellphone LCDs will be suitable for DTV TV features, and compatible with 12 megapixel specification of digital cameras on some TyTN models.
