"Just read on ENS that Samsung bought a license from a company in Britain
called Advanced RISC Machines LTD (ARM). The article said Samsung will embed
ARM chip technology in products to be developed jointly by Samsung and ARM."
I believe ARM is the company supplying the processor used in the Apple
Newton. Apple is also an investor in the firm, if this is the one I'm thinking
of.
A number of firms, including Sharp, have licenses for this CPU and are using
it in their PDA development. I seriously doubt that it has anything to do with
the rumored acquisition of Commodore.
