"Announced today, the open source community will be able to buy the Snowball development boards that use ST-Ericsson's AP9500 chipset and run free open source software and tools that have been optimized by Linaro.

"Software developers now have access to application processors that can provide the performance of a PC with the power footprint of mobile. Combining dual core Cortex-A9 and Mali GPU processors with open source software that has been optimized by Linaro offers software developers the option to create code and products on a platform that costs less than a netbook, has better performance and sustains battery life longer."
