With the launch of Apple's tablet a mere few weeks away, we can already start looking at other platforms which Apple may aim its new processor architecture.
Apple, in a job posting last week, advertised for an "Engineering Manager (Platform Bring-Up)" which states that Apple is taking their iPhone OS and putting it on new platforms:
The Core Platform team within Apple's Core OS organization is looking for a talented and inspired manager to lead a team focused on bring-up of iPhone OS on new platforms. The team is responsible for low level platform architecture, firmware, core drivers and bring-up of new hardware platforms. The team consists of talented engineers with experience in hardware, firmware, IOKit drivers, security and platform architecture.
Which platforms? There are so many. As TiPb points out today, the biggest no-brainer of them all is AppleTV. With the iPhone OS and a Apple's own processors, the AppleTV could be made into something much smaller and cheaper. AppleTV has been whittled down to one 160GB version which hasn't seen much action lately.

Η αλήθεια είναι πως κανείς δεν ξέρει. Το μόνο σίγουρο είναι ότι αυτό που ξεκίνησε η Apple με το iPad πρόκειται ΠΟΛΥ γρήγορα να περάσει σε όλη τη βιομηχανία της πληροφορικής. Κοινώς, στα πάντα που αφορούν τον μοντέρνο τρόπο ζωής της Δυτικής κοινωνίας και όχι μόνο.
Όπως επίσης και το άλλο σίγουρο είναι ότι η Apple έχει ένα από τα καλύτερα R&D στον πλανήτη και τα περισσότερα R&D προϊόντα ΔΕΝ τα βλέπουμε ΠΟΤΕ!
Μπορούμε να ελπίζουμε όμως ;)
