Arm

The Apple tablet has been a topic of discussion ever since Steve Jobs yanked the Newton out of the product line in the late 90's. Speculation was rejuvenated at last month's conference call, where Jobs himself was on hand to say of the Netbook category:

"entrance into that category" is the iPhone. But then he admitted that Apple is going to "wait and see" how the category evolves and "we've got some pretty interesting ideas if it does evolve."

To many, including me, that seemed to scream "tablet." To get a better idea about this category, however, I talked to Bob Morris at ARM who had a wealth of information on the topic.

In today's podcast: Sony lowcost laptop; Arm and TI take aim at Intel Atom; and Nvidia launches Tegra processor.
