N900 charging through dumb USB charger
Hi, I have a small gadget where you put 4 AA batteries and it outputs power over USB. When plugging this into the N900 with the provided CA-101 cable the N900 doesn't start to charge. As a workaround I used a USB to round nokia plug + the round nokia to micro USB adapter provided with the N900 and it worked: the N900 started to charging. The same thing happen when replacing my small gadget with a power plug to USB charger. Is there an USB to micro USB cable or adapter that would allow the N900 to use dumb USB power sources? Thanks in advance, Laurent ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: iPad
P.A. Semi was one of the original StrongARM designers. And since Apple is an ARM licensee uses ARM procs in all their iPods iPhones, I find it highly unlikely that the A4 SoC would be anything but ARM.

In a tablet of the iPad's size, there's no reason not to use an Atom and full-blown desktop Linux. Mark Finger based keyboardless input. That killed full-blown desktop Linux and apps right there. In fact, that is one of , if not the most important reason why the original TabletPC was a flop. I don't see any rationale in (current-gen) embedded X86 if you want linux on it, either, but that's just me (ARM is cheaper, is far more power efficient, allows always-on, and, with A9- MPcores, *at least* on par performance-wise).

Re: iPad
low end netbooks pre-installed with Linux may be obtained for sub $200 prices. that's cheaper than anything Apple or Nokia are offering in a comparable category they don't require special SDKs. Apple's P.A. Semi talent will do wonders for Apple but it won't be much use elswhere as they're unlikely to license their SoCs to 3rd parties.

I don't think I'd touch an iPad unless given one for free, and only then to jailbreak it. After all, there's a very good reason why I got my N900.
