As I poked and prodded the Lenovo Skylight, I pulled out my Nexus One and dropped it on top of the unit for a size reference so that we could snap picture of it. As I stood there looking at the phone laying on top of the smartbook and contemplating the fact that both of these (Android-based) devices had 1GHz, ARM-based Snapdragon processors in them, I glanced across the booth and spotted an ARM-based game console sitting right next to the ARM-based iRex Iliad e-reader. And then there was the portable media player (PMP) positioned not far away&#8230; then it really sunk in: smartphone, netbook, e-reader, PMP, game console&#8212;all popular consumer electronic categories with real computing needs and a huge audience, and all on ARM right now.\n<\/p>\n<p>          <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/news\/2010\/01\/thin-clients-and-the-cloud-how-arm-beat-x86-to-the-punch.ars?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss\" title=\"Click here to continue reading this article\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.arstechnica.com\/mt-static\/plugins\/ArsTheme\/images\/read-more.jpg\" alt=\"Read the rest of this article...\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/2QE9u71ts-IqczVESty0MwTxjr0\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/2QE9u71ts-IqczVESty0MwTxjr0\/0\/di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/2QE9u71ts-IqczVESty0MwTxjr0\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/2QE9u71ts-IqczVESty0MwTxjr0\/1\/di\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.arstechnica.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?a=WILw6sWz3OE:dJG1PDvKAsk:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?i=WILw6sWz3OE:dJG1PDvKAsk:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.arstechnica.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?a=WILw6sWz3OE:dJG1PDvKAsk:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?i=WILw6sWz3OE:dJG1PDvKAsk:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.arstechnica.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?a=WILw6sWz3OE:dJG1PDvKAsk:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.arstechnica.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?a=WILw6sWz3OE:dJG1PDvKAsk:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/arstechnica\/index?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/arstechnica\/index\/~4\/WILw6sWz3OE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Buy This Item: <a class=\"buy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/buy.php\" ><span style=\"color: #33bc03\">[Click here to buy this item]<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.arstechnica.com\/~r\/arstechnica\/index\/~3\/WILw6sWz3OE\/thin-clients-and-the-cloud-how-arm-beat-x86-to-the-punch.ars\" >Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the first day of CES, I dropped by the Qualcomm booth looking for ARM-based smartbooks to try out.
