Article title: "Saipan tablet" is not impossible to have started porting to Atom. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
On August 18, February 8, according to foreign media reports, after the Saipan Foundation announced that the Saipan system was fully open source on August 18, February 5, the market expressed great attention to Saipan's next trend. The famous technology website ZDNet UK has learned a lot about the open-source and future versions of the Saipan system after interviewing Lee Williams, CEO of the Saipan Foundation.
According to Williams, this open-source project uses a large amount of code from Nokia Series 60 as the blueprint. about tens of thousands of individual developers and nearly 200 software development companies have joined open-source R & D. However, about 20% of developers disagree with the open-source Saipan system. In this open-source operation, not all programs and code are open-source. some core-driven code still needs to be retained, such as new drivers developed by Nokia and Sony Ericsson.
When a reporter asked about the user interface and features of the new version of the Saipan system, Williams revealed that the new version of the Saipan system will emphasize more on the functions of the software, the QT Core code will be added through the software system transparent effect, image gradient and analysis capabilities. In the versions of Symbian 3 and Symbian 4, users will have a very powerful user interface. while simplifying the function buttons, Seban fully considers users' operation habits, some default function buttons are set. The Symbian 4 version will introduce a new user interface graphical method that will support nine different types of displays.
Most importantly, when a reporter asked about the future development prospects of Seban, Williams revealed that "in addition to smartphones, there may be other devices using the Seban system ". Industry analysts believe that the "Saipan tablet" is coming soon ". During the visit, Williams revealed that Saipan's next-generation device R & D code was Wild Ducks ). And said that Saipan has started to transplant the system to Intel's Atom processor platform and started the development of the GCC compiler, perform basic R & D work for the Saipan system to transplant the device platform. In the next 1-2 years, we will see the emergence of tablets and other devices based on the Saipan system in the market. These devices will be available to all similar devices on the market. This means that the "Saipan tablet" is coming soon.
