I keep thinking that there are a lot of cell phones out there, and a lot of untapped potential.
The one in my pocket (Palm Pre) is running some variant of the ARM processor at something like 600 MHz, which is a nontrivial amount of CPU. Palm goofed on the battery (I can go two days, tops), but the rest of the phone, including WebOS, is pretty cool. Cell phones as a group are probably second only to smart cards in the total number of available clock cycles. -- Lynn Carl Christensen wrote: > I don't quite understand the bashing of this guy's mobile project; there was > that "boincoid" a year or two ago which was in vogue, and IMHO the same ones > bashing the "usefulness" of mobiles are the ones crowing about how great > GPU's & CUDA & Sony Playstations etc are (completely ignoring the fact that > 99.99999% of real-world science apps won't run on it).
