...Don't forget that they said that in 2007, Samsung's MP3 players would be number one...They can claim that they met their goal by declaring the iPod as their new MP3 player.
That would be hella funny if they claimed that. Yeah overall revenue and profit wise, now including this deal, what the NAND and this Samsung chip brings in will probably far outstrip the revenue and profit of Samsung's own MP3 thingys.
Hmm... what new goodies will this newfangled iPod core bring? Or a "Mac OS 10.5 Leopard: To Go" PDA ??
I don't believe ARM ever manufactured, but I could be mistaken.
They did, for a while. But they never came close to breaking even, so they discontinued doing it, and became the boutique design firm they are now.
It wasn't the discontinuance of the Newton that did it though. That only used a couple of hundred thousand chips a year, though I think Apple sold around 300 thousand the last year.

Just had an idea. Windows has Windows: Mobile edition. How boring sounding.
For the Mac, Mac Os 10.5 Leopard: Kitty Edition for Smartphone PDAs.
