Eyeing Google, Splashtop partners with Yahoo for instant-on web search

""We are a very good companion environment," Krupenin said. "We really don't think trying to replace the operating system is the right strategy... so we've chosen not to fight that battle."

"Splashtop only runs on Intel-based computers, not smartphones or "smartbooks" based on the ARM processor.

""We've been looking at ARM, but so far haven't pulled the trigger," Krupenin said. "It's quite a bit of technical work. And the most interesting usage for Splashtop is being able get a full Web browser right away. You can't get that on a mobile phone."
