Hardware, Embedded Systems Thus far it seems that netbooks with Windows XP and Intel Atom processors have been the most successful, leaving little room for other players. There have been those who doubt ARM's longevity in this particular market, so we decided to interview some of the folks at ARM. They told OSNews that the company is confident about its current and future mobile markets, and Linux, which will soon be on various ARM-powered netbooks, is one of the reasons why.

I disagree. I'd much rather have the figure given in the originally quoted unit, even if it's less familiar to me. If the board was in fact built to a 3"x3" spec then that's the most apt description, not ~7.62x~7.62cm

The assumption on your part is that it wasn’t 8×8cm and had been imperialised for the interviewer.

As opposed to your assumption that it was?
