New hybrid ARM CPU/video chip debuts

The baseband chip in the iPhone already provides hardware acceleration for encoding and decoding video. I always assumed that Apple was making use of it for their video playback, and that they'd use it in the future for video recording.

"Now pass me the vinegar and mayo."


Ok this likely means something but could you fill the rest of us in?

By the way, such processor really are the cats pajamas for generation 2 devices. We should be able to see extended battery lifetimes and board space for more features. Maybe a full report would be possible.

I'm still wondering how much interest Apple really has in Silverthorne and the like. It just seems like to me that ARM is going to be very tough to compete with due mostly to the high integration of its devices.

Only in America (is the Wikipedia reference needed)! Still, I shouldn't mock - at least you have an any-version of the iPhone. :-( I'm waiting for a 2nd gen 32Gb iPhone that I don't have to crack.

I'm a bit confused. The iPhone can already play 640*480 video - more than this, in fact - so what advantages does this chip offer to the mobile OS X platform specifically?

You are very funny and clever, as well as, bright and knowledgeable. Perhaps sometimes, I suspect, your humor is too subtle for some, but still very enjoyable.

If you have the occasion to check my website www.markUrban.com you may see other things clever. Sorry, for some reason it loads very, very slowly.

...Any word on an Apple TV update coming tomorrow?

id love to see one of these in the future versions of the iphone...

btw, what do you think is the future of the iphone... i mean with the jailbreaking of ootb 1.1.3 just a command away using the ziphone... where do you see this community going???

hahahaha for some reason, i found this post really humorous.
This is really exciting news though. Maybe some video encoding so that we can finally record video on our iPhones :)
