Google Choosing ARM

Why is Android Different?Android is a major paradigm shift for OEM’s and SIP’sIn the past OEM’s had two approaches to OS for devicesp pp

“Roll your own”: Software stack is built by the OEM on top of an OS“Off the shelf””: Buy the software stack such as WinMo or Symbian

With traditional models OEM’s knew where to turn:“Roll your own” : Experience is in house with total control“Off the shelf”: Supplier or its partners would support you

Ecosystem to Support It Ecosystem to Support It

The Power Of OpenSourceJust like the unique business model that ARM developed for the ARM architecture, Opensource allows development costs to be spread across multiple companies, allowing them to focus on differentiation.

When OpenSource FailsOpenSource fails when someone forks off from the main branch

Fragmented code branch does not have the benefit of the community

OpenSource becomes ClosedSource
