And it's a very early proto. One mistake in my article was to say that it already runs on Sparrow CPU's. Actually it runs on prototypes of Sparrow CPU I'll try to do exact quote/translation here: " At the congress I was able to play for the first time with the first computers from one small company, who is the market leader, what's more - these are computers based on the prototype Sparrow. Sparrow are new generation of multicore processors from ARM. The specs are simply a blow-out. But it's the year 2011 and all of this runs on Linux..." Then they go on to figure out that this small company is Nokia, without mentioning it's name. One more tid bit, that I did not figure out was that when the host asked - "What it is that blew you out - the CPU itself, the speed?" The answer was: "Not only. The sppeed is just, just... First - Linux that runs on it .. it's an assembly from the model 950, so it is impossible to see the actual speed, it is totally not optimized for the CPU..." Well, I may have lost something in translation, but Eldar was pretty explicit that he was talking about 2011 device. And it’s a very early proto. One mistake in my article was to say that it already runs on Sparrow CPU’s. Actually it runs on prototypes of Sparrow CPU
