Freescale’s Sub-$200 Tablets to Be Compatible with Linux, Chromium OS, Android

Written By

“Attached here is a video from Mobile World Congress 2010 with
Freescale’s product manager of software development
explaining that Freescale’s sub-$200 ARM (i.MX51 Cortex-A8)
tablets will be compatible with just about any Linux distribution
that supports ARM processors like Ubuntu, Chromium OS, and Android.
And not only that… Freescale’s tablets are able to play
Flash 10.1 content and HTML5 video. It’s unclear exactly who
will be selling the tablets, but my guess is that they will be
branded and sold by partners running Freescale’s in-house
developed OS.”
