A holy war is brewing between Intel and ARM over smartphones and mobile internet devices. Currently ARM processors dominate smartphones while Intel’s Atom dominates Netbooks.

Nokia’s $299 3G Netboook, is bundled with a two-year AT&T Data Connect plan which runs $60-a-month. Otherwise it’s $599. Nokia’s Atom-based netbook comes with an HDMI port, integrated Bluetooth, a 10.1 inchdisplay, integrated A-GPS with Ovi Maps, and the latest version of Ovi Suite for synching with a Nokia mobile device. Nokia says their Windows 7 Netbook will run for up to 12 hours.

But the battlefront may shortly move to ARM-powered “smartbooks”, running Android software — and priced around $99. But neither Windows 7 nor XP run on ARM processors. Yet.

Market research firm The Information Network said late last month that ARM processors, not Intel’s Atom chip, will gain the largest chunk of the Netbook market in 2012 — about a 55 percent market share.

They believe small ARM-based laptops — “smartbooks” — will thrive under subsidized services from telephone carriers. Tegra-based smartbooks have already been picked up by telecom providers in Europe and North America, and may arrive in stores before the end of the year, say reports.

EE Times cites analyst Didier Scemama, who said there is a “shift towards computing based on ARM-Linux and away from Intel-Microsoft over the next technology cycle,” which he said would begin in the second half of 2010, because ARM processors would match Intel chips in performance and beat them on power consumption and possibly cost. The dual-core Arm processor runs at 2GHz while consuming 1.9 watts of power, with better performance than Intel’s Atom N270 operating at 1.6GHz, according to benchmarks provided by Arm.

ARM’s new dual-core Cortex A9 processor is aiming at the wireless market with licensees including Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, Samsung, NEC, Toshiba and NXP. Of course Intel could scale down Atom to 32-nm thereby allowing it to drop the price under the 40-nm Osprey.

If Microsoft could enable Windows 7 to run under ARM’s processors, all bets are off.

The LG Electronics MID device, due in 2010, is predicted to be “one of the first Moorestown designs to market,” according to the companies. The Mobile Internet Device will run Linux-based, Moblin V2 that will add cellular voice capability, says Intel. The new Moblin v2 beta, which came out earlier this month, is focused on NetBooks and MIDs. It’s been qualified on devices from Acer, Asus, Dell and MSI.

Ultra-Mobile PCs, by definition, run Windows. But running Microsoft Windows on a Smartphone or UMPC is not the compelling prospect it may have appeared 5 years ago.

Atom’s chief advantage is that it can run PC applications, unlike ARM-based devices. But current Atom processors require far more juice than ARM, making it impractical for most handheld devices. The Moorestown shrink may change all that. On the other hand open source platforms like Android, are changing the Smartphone game.

“Now let’s be sure we understand the danger of this. The inhabitants of this planet can read our minds, they can create illusions out of a person’s own thoughts, memories and experiences, even out of a person’s own desires. Illusions just as real and solid as this table top and just as impossible to ignore.”
– First Star Trek Episode: “The Cage”

The Star Trek television series was first aired on 8 September 1966 and ran for 3 seasons on NBC. It was set in the 23rd century and featured the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

This week marks the anniversary of Star Trek’s original pilot episode “The Cage” (video), notes the Official Google Mobile Blog, and with it, the first appearance of the iconic Communicator.

As one of the inspirations for today’s mobile devices, the Communicator did more than just long-range voice calls; in fact, many of its locator and universal translation services still outpace today’s state of the art. What’s more, the Communicator was so critical to the daily workings of Starfleet that cadets’ 4-year curriculum included mandatory courses in communications engineering.

Today’s brand of mobile user doesn’t need four years to figure out their phone. But this week, and with a tip of the hat to the USS Enterprise for the Communicator’s anniversary, we did want to celebrate all things mobile by sharing some of Google’s favorite mobile tips and tricks.

All week long, we’re going to be tweeting and blogging our top tips for using Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and more on your phone.

Cisco announced today that it is buying Starent Networks, a leading supplier of IP-based mobile infrastructure solutions, for $3.2 billion.

Starent’s infrastructure allows providers to manage access from any 2.5G, 3G, and 4G radio network. Starent makes gateways that allow “roaming between disparate networks,” such as WiMAX, CDMA, UMTS and Wi-Fi, without the user having to do anything to execute the handover.

Under the terms of the agreement, Cisco will pay $35 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Starent Networks and assume outstanding equity awards for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.9 billion. The acquisition has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies.

“Combining Cisco’s strength in Video and IP with Starent Networks’ leading mobile infrastructure solutions, creates a compelling portfolio of products that provides an integrated architecture to offer rich, quality multimedia experiences to mobile subscribers on 3G and 4G networks,” said Starent Networks President and Chief Executive Officer Ashraf Dahod.

Using deep-packet inspection Starent can provide an understanding of each session or subscriber transaction. Through DPI, operators can implement detailed billing schemes based on each mobile subscriber session or transaction. Starent Networks was founded in 2000 and is based in Tewksbury, Mass. with approximately 1,000 employees worldwide.

Cisco has forecast that by 2013 about 60 percent of the data traveling across mobile networks will come from videos.

Two weeks ago, Cisco made another $3 billion bet on video, placing an offer for Tandberg, a Norwegian maker of videoconferencing systems, reports the NY Times. And in March, Cisco agreed to pay $590 million for Pure Digital, a start-up that developed the popular Flip video cameras. Starent has landed major contracts, ranging from Verizon Wireless’ planned shift to Long-Term Evolution (LTE) in the U.S., to a Taiwan consortium that is deploying a nationwide WiMax network.
