They used the "clean room" approach to design/implement the hardware and the software. I think they are looking for takers to build something useful. They even had a copyright lawyer overlooking the whole process. The aricle also mentioned the possibility of law suits from Apple. As far as I can remember, Apple had not comment on it yet. The article is really recent, my mind just failed me and I have no recollection of where I read it. Can anyone elaborate on the chip set? -- Peter Yeung Amdahl Canada Ltd., Software Development Center 2000 Argentia Road, Plaza 2, Suite 300 Mississauga, Ont.
