"Has the era of the 1GHz smartphone arrived? It has for Toshiba, which has tapped Qualcomm's new Snapdragon silicon. The Toshiba TG01 Windows Mobile phone was unveiled Tuesday, according to reports. Based on Windows Mobile 6.1, it is designed to take on the iPhone 3G. Only 9.9mm thick, it uses a 4.1-inch WVGA 800 x 480 384k pixel resistive touch screen and comes with support for 3G HSPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and assisted-GPS. The TG01 is slated to be available in Europe this summer. The price, at this time, has not been disclosed (Acer and Asus are also expected to bring out Snapdragon-based products)."

When can we see ANY ARM based netbooks. I'm not really to worried so much about the speed, as much as battery life and functionality. And maybe get to play Battle For Wesnoth once in a while on it.
I know ARM is working with Canonical on an ARM branch of Ubuntu, which I believe is to be released no earlier than April. And there was the comment in the article about Acer and Asus being "expected" to bring out Snapdragon based products. So I'm hoping it will be sooner than later, but probably will be later.
With Freescale and Qualcomm, there will already be competition in the ARM branch of netbooks, and if AMD and VIA can get rolling there can be good competition in the x86 branch. Thats more competition in a small netbook space than there is even on a broad consumer desktop space! Isn't it wonderful?
