“Gateway has announced that it plans to use Transmeta’s Crusoe
smart processor to power the first products of the Internet
Appliances (IAs) line that the company is developing with AOL.”
“Slated to hit the market in time for the holidays, the IAs
will sport Transmeta’s Mobile Linux Operating System (OS).
Gateway officials said the Crusoe processor is suited for IAs and
handheld devices because it offers extended battery life, a small
size, and lower operating temperatures than traditional
processors.”
“Transmeta officials said that it beats getting a lump of
coal in the old holiday stocking. “AOL and Gateway have the
best overall strategy in the emerging Internet Appliance space and
we are thrilled to have a strategic relationship with them to
develop Crusoe and Mobile Linux-based products,” said David Ditzel,
Transmeta’s CEO.”
