The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
“The use of OKL4 provides enough CPU performance to support a Linux
environment with a rich GUI (graphical user interface) typical for a
high-end CPU, while concurrently supporting the real-time processing
needs of the modem software, all on a single ARM9 processor,” said
Gernot Heiser, CTO of Open Kernel Labs.
While Motorola hasn't yet released details of pricing or the exact
operating systems being used, OK Labs indicated to iTWire last week
that the Evoke QA4 would be offered at a "feature phone" price,
hundreds of dollars cheaper than smartphones like the iPhone and
Blackberry.
OK Labs' Subar told iTWire that the use of virtualization had enabled
Motorola to trim the manufacturing cost of the Evoke QA4 by US$45.
According to the Subar, the manufacturing cost saving translates to hundreds of dollars for the end user.
"The savings for both OEMs and mobile network operators are significant," he said.
Motorola also hasn't released details of the operating systems for the
Evoke QA4 but OK Labs hinted that Android will be the Linux-based one
that provides the graphical environment applications.
